Thanks for responding so quickly. Fernando.

I see. The one linked is a custom Link. Try selecting the whole menu. Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/Kou91e4A
Ah, now I understand.
Very, very helpful.
Thank you, Fernando !
Wait, is there a way to
set it up that the URL
does not appear when the
cursor moves over the country?
See
https://understand-culture.com/languages/#
In other words, clicking on "Languages"
opens up the menu with the list of country
names. Users then simply click on the country
of choice without that country's URL being
displayed.
I imbedded the submenu on the page
with content about Germany, but in
the Ukrianian language. In order to
see what it looks like.
Please see:

On both wide screen and on mobile.
On mobile it looks a bit confusing.
Thanks, Fernando.
I see. Can you try to remove the sub-sub menu links added? Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQuWjmwk
Thanks, again, Fernando.
Very helpful.
I got it to work.
Then made a mistake.
And goofed it up.
I tried to start from the beginning.
See page name: "Test Translations".
You can log in as Admin.
Please take a look.
Thanks !
That's odd. Can you try recreating the Navigation Block from scratch again?
Hi Fernando,
Not odd at all. I am perfectly capable
of goofing things up.
I recreated the navigation block several times.
Let me describe the steps I am taking:
-- in the page entitled "Test Translation"
-- hit +-sign, choose "Navigation"
-- click on Document Overview (3-line hamburger)
-- highlight "Navigation"
-- in righthand menu choose "Block"
-- click on 3-vertical dots
-- scroll down to Import Classic Menus and select "Translations"
-- update, save.
I then view the page and see:
https://understand-culture.com/test-translations/
Oh, wow that is super weird and not what that block should be doing. Although reading around a few other forums it seems other users have had similar issues.
It could be a plugin conflict or it could just be WP 6.2 has a few bugs.
What happens if you delete the Translations menu, and create a new menu with just the one page item ? Does that also print out ore menu items then it should ?
Let me try that out, Dave.
Please keep in mind, however, that the
way I currently have the translations
linked to the two-letter ISO abbreviations
is for not just fine.
Should I, at some point, add a handful more
of translations, then I'll most likely need
the extra menu.
I created a new menu, Dave.
And then added just one submenu.
Same problem.
Let's mark this as resolved.
As written above it is not yet acute.
And I had drawing on so much of your
time and that of Fernando and Ying.
You folks have bigger problems to solve.
Thanks !
I feel bad that i recommended something that looks to have some real inherent issues. Ill do some more testing.
Feel free to re-open and thanks for your patience.
Absolutely no reason to feel back, Dave.
For the following reasons:
First, I learned how to create a submenu.
That will come in handy at another point.
Second, you folks will work out the bugs.
I am very sure of that.
Third, my current approach with the two-letter
ISO abbreviations is a good solution. It works.
Big thanks !
Thanks for the understanding, i am now going to bash my head on WordPress core blocks to see if i can find out how to easily break it and what they need to fix it :) .
Don't hurt yourself, Dave.
