Retranslate Menu Items with Broken Category or Article Setup

Problem

A menu item was translated, but at the time of translation, the referenced category or article was not properly prepared in the target language.

This usually happens when:

• The source category was not assigned to the source language

• The related article structure was incomplete

• Menu items were translated before categories and articles were correctly prepared

As a result, the translated menu item may point to the wrong category or the untranslated source article.

Solution

1. Correct the source setup

Assign the source category correctly to the source language.

This is the required base for proper translation relationships.

2. Translate the category and its articles

Make sure the category and all related articles are translated correctly first.

This ensures that valid target language references exist.

3. Trigger menu item retranslation

After the structure is fixed, manually trigger a retranslation of the menu item inside the component.

The system can now create the correct menu assignment using the proper translated references.

This resolves broken menu links and incorrect language associations.
