Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the taxonomies on my website, hidden link, using WPML.

Symptoms:
The taxonomies of the website don't get translated and remain in the default language.

Questions:
Is there a way we can let the translations run again so that the taxonomies get translated correctly?

Hi,

Welcome to WPML support. Would you please add a dummy post and use the taxonomy terms for that post?

Then translate that dummy page which will list the terms in the Advanced Translation Editor. For more information:

https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-all-taxonomy-terms-at-once/

If the taxonomy terms do not show in the Advanced Translation Editor, it might be the fact that the taxonomy is not set translatable.

For that you go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation and set the taxonomy as translatable.
