[Resolved] custom team categories translation

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

Problem:

I have three languages, EN, IT, and ES, so there is a custom post type called Team, and it has categories. How can I create categories in the ES version because EN and It are already there

Solution:

Please go to WPML-> Settings-> Taxonomy Translation section, and set the team categories to "Translatable – use translation if available or fallback to default language".

After that, please go to WPML-> Taxonomy Translation, and translate the terms.

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

it's a custom post type created with the team plugin, somehow I forget how I created the Italic version. Now I couldn't find any option to add categories for Spanish
