I don't understand how the translation of the navigation works. Some navigation items seem to be translated and some not.
And also I see some dropdowns that are not totally visible.
Thanks.

Hi Osama, I read the documentation. Thanks.
I thought I translated everything automatically.
But the menu's are still not translated. I don't know where I can find this.
Thanks.

Hi,

In order to translate your menu automatically, please go to WPML-> WP Menu Sync.

Please note that you need to translate the pages used in the menu before syncing the menus to translate the menus correctly.

Best regards,
Osama

I understand I still have to translate some pages. But don't understand why for some items, it adds spanish text with NL behind it like: Alquilar @nl

Hi,

The "Alquilar" menu item is a custom URL menu item. Custom URL menu items are translated via String Translation after translating the menu. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#translating-custom-links)
