This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where after logging in on the Norwegian version of their site using the Uncanny Toolkit's [uo_login_ui] shortcode, they were redirected to a 'Page Not Found' error instead of the intended page. Additionally, the user was not actually logged in. Solution: We identified that the issue was related to the language URL format used on the site. To resolve this, we recommended changing the URL format from directories to parameters. Specifically, this involved navigating to WPML → Languages → Language URL Format and switching from /no/ to ?lang=no. This change successfully resolved the login and redirect issues.

<b>Background of the issue: </b>
I am trying to set up a Norwegian version of the site, including the login and pages available for logged-in users. The login form is created using Uncanny Toolkit (shortcode [uo_login_ui] hidden link), combined with their login redirect module (hidden link) which is set to login redirect: hidden link. I also tried using a custom design for this login page with a slightly different shortcode [uo_login_ui redirect="/no/mine-kurs/]. [removed]
<b>Symptoms: </b>
After login, I am redirected to hidden link, which displays a string "Beklager! Siden ser ikke ut til å eksistere."
<b>Questions: </b>
Why am I not being redirected to the correct page after login?
How can I fix the login redirect issue for the Norwegian version of the site?

I have verified that logging in from the Norwegian (NO) version redirects to a "Page Not Found" error. Additionally, I confirmed that the user is not logged in, and the only way to log in successfully is through the English login form.
As a test, I removed the following shortcode from the login page:
[uo_login_ui redirect="/mine-kurs/"]
I then deleted and retranslated the page to start fresh, but the issue persisted.
I was only able to resolve the issue by navigating to WPML → Languages → Language URL Format and switching from directories to parameters (changing from /en/ to ?lang=no). This resolved the problem.
So I understand it that the language url format isn't compatible with our login shortcode. We'll have to stick with the /en/ format for now, so instead of resolving this by changing the format, we'll just avoid creating a translated version of the pages for the logged in user all together. The logged in pages isn't text heavy, so this is okay.
I solved this by adding a custom url to the translated menu, that links to the original language login.
