This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client is using the AVADA theme for the mega menu option on their site and has noticed that the main category menu item names are not getting translated in both languages, despite being translated already in the WPML String Translation and Taxonomy Translation sections. Solution: 1. We recommended translating the links manually using the Advanced Translation Editor. The client should use the search form in the Advanced Translation Editor to locate and translate the links. 2. For static links, which the client is using, manual translation is necessary. We provided guidance on how to manually translate these links. 3. We suggested using dynamic content options for links, as explained in the Avada documentation (https://avada.com/documentation/how-to-use-dynamic-content-options-in-avada/), which would allow WPML to adjust the links automatically. 4. We also advised searching for category names or slug titles that might not include http or https, and translating them accordingly. 5. We manually saved some translations for the client that were not previously saved, ensuring they are now 100% complete for both languages. 6. We added custom XML configuration to help translate all links, instructing the client to search, translate, and save all links.

Bringing one more thing to your attention.
I am using AVADA for the mega menu option on my site.
I have noticed that on selecting the language, the main category menu item names are not getting translated in both the languages.
I have cross checked at three places and found these menu items are all translated already.
please check here
- hidden link
- hidden link
and here
- hidden link [ Select UA category ]
Can you please take a look and check asap, will be highly thankful : )
Can you please suggest which one to opt, as you know the menu options are created in AVADA using a mega menu and only a certain part of menu has already got translated into both the languages that is "Coated Abrasives"
Rest of the other menus could not.
If I will use WP menu sync It will replace the menu entirely from site.
What's the best remedy here.
can I copy the same English for french and spanish language and then later replace the english menu options with french and spanish.
Thanks for your reply,
I saw in avada menu titles are all translated already, please see below in SS
then how come they are not appearing in front-end, any guesses !?
Good News: I am able to see the menu options available in French and Spanish both.
Bad News : Now the product title and product category names under the Product main menu options are converted to FR and ES their URLs are still in english ver and not changed to /fr/ and /es/. Can you tell why it is happening so and what's the remedy here?
Also, I noticed very strange thing, which was not earlier and somehow is appearing now, On translating any of the product page (only) in french and not spanish, the search bar goes away leaving these marks. (plz refer SS)
It seems to work fine when I reinsert the categories as shown in the attached screenshot. Could you try replacing it with the correct category and see if it's linking to the correct category page?
It looks like to me the categories are still using the links from the English language hence causing the issue you had there.
I am sorry I didn't get you here?
And the problem is not with the Mobile version but with the Desktop version.
Actually, the screenshot you have shared is basically being used for mobile version only, as stated in green color. On the other hand I have used the Products main menu option from dropdown for Desktop view. (Please refer SS).
And do you wanna split the ticket please for my following previous request:
Also, I noticed very strange thing, which was not earlier and somehow is appearing now, On translating any of the product page (only) in French and not Spanish, the search bar goes away leaving these marks. (plz refer SS).
That pop-up appears on clicking the Blue button (AVADA Option)inside the Product option.
