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

Problem:
The client needs to automatically translate over 100 product categories, menus, and other taxonomies without doing it manually.
Solution:
If you're experiencing the need to translate a large number of taxonomy terms, such as product categories, menus, and other taxonomies, we recommend creating a temporary product and assigning all the taxonomies you wish to translate to that product. Then, use the Advanced Translation Editor to translate the product automatically, which will also translate all the assigned taxonomies.

For detailed steps on how to translate all taxonomy terms at once, please refer to our documentation:

Regarding menus, WPML provides options to translate them automatically, manually, or synchronize their content between languages. For more information on translating menus, please visit:

Hi Philipp,
Thanks for contacting WPML support, I will be happy to help you.

When you translate any post/page/product using the Advanced Translation Editor, any taxonomy terms assigned to that content will also be available for translation.

So you can create a temporary product and assign all the taxonomies to that product. Then you can translate the product automatically and all the assigned taxonomies will be translated as well.

Please check those articles for more details:

https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatically-translating-multiple-translation-jobs-in-bulk/#translating-jobs-in-bulk-automatically

For the menus, WPML allows you to translate them automatically, manually, or synchronize its content between all languages. Please check this guide for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/

Regards,
Mohamed
