Translated items have publish_down at "1000-01-01 00:00:00"
You can try this tweak:
1/ Backup your site
2/ Remove translated items
3/ Install this package:
and translate again.

Dear saguaros,
Thank you for your quick tweak. It works! (as publish down 1000 years later)
It might be a different issue, but translated items will not appear on the list of articles and I cannot see them in the frontend. This could be caused by another issue, which might have been reported in this area before. (After I install Flexicontent cck, the articles disappeared can be editable.)
When the menus are translated, they are not editable, and the Joomla routing is not working for them. Although the publish_down problem is fixed now, the menus are still not working. When I try to edit the translated menu, the appearance is broken and an error appears.
I recently avoid this issue by tweaking the code to skip translating menus (and categories).
Thank you! Your tweak works for the primary issue I consulted here.

Hi Ted,
That error relates to PHP 8.2 compatibility issue, but as I can see that it notices error from core file of Joomla.
Could you switch to PHP 8.1 or 8.0 and see how it goes?
Hi saguaros,
I tried new translations using PHP 8.1 (to BG-bg) and PHP 8.0 (to NL-nl), but the errors do not stop.
PHP database extensions for PHP 8.1 are mysqli, mysqlnd, nd_pdo_mysql, and for PHP 8.0 are mysqli.
Thank you!
Ted
HI Ted,
I tested with PHP 8.1 at my end with the package I sent above but there is not error message like that.
You can go to Global configuration in backend >> enable Debug mode and set Error Reporting to Maximum, it will show the error in details and you will know which files/extensions have issue.

Dear saguaros,
I did not specify where the erorrs were shown. They were after the Metatag heading.
Here are the messages from the system:

I guess another guy had reported the same error after my post, although he/she uses Joomla 3.10.
Thank you.

It reports error from core file of Joomla, not our extension: JROOT/layouts/joomla/form/field/textarea.php
How can I replicate the same error on your site?

Hi sauaros,
I am not sure it occurs in your situation, but in my case,
1) automatically created articles are not listed in "Articles"
2) automatically created menus are broken.
The original menu is shown like this:
When I open the translated menu, it is shown like this:
The usual site top bar and the save bar are gone, and tabs are broken. And Metadata has a htmlspecialchars error.
Thank you.

I tried to run the translation in a Joomla fresh website with German and it worked properly:
You can try switch to older PHP version instead of v8.2 and disable 3rd party extensions on your site as it may cause conflict.
Otherwise, there must be something wrong with Joomla on your site.
I first tried with PHP 8.0, not with PHP 8.2.
Today I made another installation of Joomla 4.3.1 with PHP 8.0 / MariaDB 10.3.38.
And I found the same error on my new website.
Probably the error comes from the difference between MySQL and MariaDB, and their versions.
I can switch PHP versions, but cannot switch database driver with my hosting server,

Oops. To restart the website, I had deleted everything.
I will set up another one using JA Multilingual and send you the credential.
Since I recently use PHP 8.2 in live websites and settings are applied to all of websites on the server, I might use another temporary server for this.
Hi Ted,
Thanks for the info, it seems to be issue with PHP 8 there, let me check and will get back to you shortly.
