Taxonomy archive does not appear in secondary languages

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

Problem: I am using a Divi module to display a custom View on a Taxonomy Archive page. I have created a PHP template file for this archive page, and the View works as expected on the primary language. When I switch languages, the View disappears.

Solution: Make sure the Divi Module is translated into all languages.

Thank you Christian, you helped me out quickly as usual. Sorry to bother you with such a simple problem, it work just fine now.

But with the same CPT I found another problem which seems more complicated. And it's WPML related. I have a taxonomy archive to show the activity categories, but I used Divi Builder to create my layout and I created the taxonomy-activity-category.php where I inserted the layout as shortcode. The problem is that when switching languages the posts don't show in the other languages except the english. It seems the permalink does not translate. I translated the tanoxnomies and the taxonomy label.

This is the page that lists the categories: hidden link
When you switch the language you can see that the link of the categories has the same activity-category slug in the permalink in every language. I've consulted wpml help for this and it says it can't be translated: https://wpml.org/faq/translate-taxonomy-slugs-wpml/. That's okay, let's keep it in english, but it is still not working...

I can see in the PHP that you're inserting a Divi module using this code:

echo do_shortcode('[et_pb_section global_module="1166"][/et_pb_section]');

I can see that this module is not translated into any language other than English:
hidden link

What happens if you translate the module into the other languages?

You are right again. I checked in the library but mixed it up with another library item from there... I guess I should rest more.
Thanks again Christian, it works now perfectly.
