Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve an issue with the Brands URL slug not being translated correctly after the WordPress Brands plugin was disabled. The links to Brands pages are broken, leading to 404 pages. I have set the string translation for the WordPress URL product_brand tax slug to 'brand' and configured WPML settings for taxonomies translation to show only translated items. I also set different slugs in different languages for Brands, specifically for Russian to be 'brand'. The issue can be seen at: קישור נסתר.
Symptoms:
The brand page link in the product page is leading to a 404 page. The current link is קישור נסתר, but it should be קישור נסתר.
Questions:
Why are the Brands URL slugs not translating correctly after disabling the WordPress Brands plugin?
How can I fix the broken links to Brands pages to display the translated versions?
