On our german website hidden link when I click on the article "sind alle religionen gleich?" (fill this in, in the search bar, if you want to test this yourself) the blogpost redirects to hidden link (the English website). How come?
I checked the yoast plugin + Siteground. No redirections there. How to fix this?
What happens on your end when you click on the article "Sind alle Religionen gleich?"
Do you go to the article or to hidden link (which is the English website)?
I just checked and today it seems to redirect to an category page (hidden link) as you said, yesterday it was showing a post, not sure what happened.
I was able to check URL (hidden link) on the (hidden link), and I see there is a 301 redirection happening.

1) I would suggest you try clearing the website cache on a server level (try twice with a 15min delay from each time), as SiteGround is known for having a good cache system.
2) If clearing the cache on a server level won't work, would it be possible to check if the issue happens in a minimal setup, that meaning:
- keep the theme you have
- keep active only WPML Plugins
- disable all other plugins
After, check if the issue is still happening. This will help to understand if the issue is being caused by any other plugin.
Note: Please make sure you have a full backup (files & database) before trying anything on your website.
