This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client needed a way to automatically translate menu links in WPML, especially for custom links, as manually translating many items across multiple languages was time-consuming.
Solution:
We explained that if the pages or taxonomies linked to the menu items are already translated, there is no need to translate the menu or links again. The links in the menu items will automatically adjust to the corresponding translations in other languages. However, for custom links in the menu, the only way to translate these is through the String Translation. We keep the automatic translation of custom links disabled by default to prevent potential issues. We recommended creating the menu by selecting pages or taxonomies instead of using custom links to ensure that the menu appears correctly translated in other languages without the need to individually translate the menu itself.
