paulW-64	Appreciate the clarification. I have one other question, as I need to manually create menus for each language, due to the menu having custom links included. How I can easily create a custom menu for each language when I can't read the translated language for the pages which aren't custom links? I have read others experiencing an issue and have raised another ticket. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wp-menu-sync-not-picking-up-translated-custom-link-label/?ref=wd

Since the menu contains custom links, you can either translate it using the WPML Menu Sync feature or manually create a new menu in the other language from scratch, which approach gives you the flexibility to customize the menu according to your needs. Please check the links below to understand the process. Menu Sync: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#easy-customizable-wp-menus-sync Manually create the menu translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/#fully-custom-create-menus-manually By using either of the approaches mentioned above, you'll be able to easily translate the menu, even if it contains custom links. Please let me know if the information above helps or if you need further assistance in this matter. I'll be happy to help. Best regards, Prosenjit

paulW-64	Hello, I have setup another ticket as this page never reloaded. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/wp-menu-sync-not-picking-up-translated-custom-link-label/?ref=wd I have attempted the WP Menu Sync which is the preferred method as it will be too hard to try and create custom menus in 10 different languages and be able to correctly identify the right page when creating. As per the screenshots attached and the other ticket, the issue being experienced is that the String Translation isn't being picked up by WP Menu Sync.

I have reviewed the ticket and already sent a response. Let's continue discussing the issue you're experiencing with translating custom menu items via WP Menu Sync there. If you need further assistance, feel free to provide an update on that ticket, and I'll be happy to help. You can mark this conversation as resolved as we can continue the conversation regarding the menu translation issue in the other ticket. Best regards, Prosenjit
