This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client was unable to view a post in a new language after using an automatic translator. The translated post was not visible when switching languages, and the client was unsure whether to delete existing translations and add new ones. Additionally, there was confusion about whether the issue was related to object cache settings.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1) Disable the object cache temporarily as it can sometimes cause issues with translations. This setting can be re-enabled after completing the translations.
2) Check if the translated posts are in the trash. If they are, either permanently delete them or restore them. Having translations in the trash can prevent them from being visible even if they are translated anew.
3) Manually edit the post in the desired language, set it to publish, and adjust the page slug if necessary.
4) Make a small change to the title in the default language and save it. Then, re-translate the page. This may trigger a new translation job and avoid using an old one. You can revert the title change and re-translate if needed.

If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Thanks Dražen, not sure what u did, but it works!

There is one last issue i encountered earlier today...

I have had issues with this post:
hidden link

When i made translations with the automatic translator, the post were not visible in the designated new language.

I translated it, but when i clicked the language switcher to find it in the posts area, it was not to find? its weird cause, its only for that specific post? Not sure what happened?

Do we delete the existing translations, and then add new? Whats the root cause of the issue?

As per right now i have this issue: cannot translate post at all:
hidden link

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello,

I have checked and found the problem, first thing make sure to disable object cache as sometimes it can cause issue. You can enable it back once done with translation.

1) Go to you post/pages and either delete completely your translated post or restore them, since having them in trash will cause issue, since as you have now they are translated but you can not see it.

I have restored it, manually edit post in that language and set to publish and adjust slug of page.

2) Make small change to default language title and save (test), then re-translate the page and it will work fine. You can then remove the change and re-translate again to have it as you wish. This is only for this case to trigger new translation job and not use old one.

Thanks

And what was the problem?

Was it the object cache? Where do i then turn it off, is it via my hosting kinsta, or wp rocket?

Let me know what the root cause of the issue was

Hello,

object cache is part of your hosting, as I can see.

Issue was, you had translation in trash, so as said it was neither published nor deleted, so even if you translated the page or re-translated it, it will not be seen and new page can not be created since old still exist, it is in trash.
