Hi!
If I well understood, you want to synchronize on the first publication date. It’s technically not feasible. Otherwise you would not be able to modify the publication date anymore. That’s why Polylang synchronization is based on the last entered date.
No, the problem is that in Catalan and Spanish can’t see the date of publication. ENGLISH looks perfectly publication date.
Spanish and Catalan not synchronized.
Thank you

Sorry, I don’t understand your problem. Please show me screenshots with what you get and what you expect.
OK
look, this is the way you can see the publication date in ENGLISH. It’s the normal way:

But in catalan or spanish it is different:

Can you see that?
thanks!

What’s your problem? The fact that the dates are not the same in English and in Spanish?
The displayed date is chosen when you hit the publish button. If you write the English post on Nov, 4th and translate it in Spanish on Nov, 17th, the dates displayed will be Nov, 4th for English and Nov, 17th for Spanish. This is how WordPress works.
With Polylang, You can synchronize dates among translations by checking the relevant option in Polylang settings. But be aware that in this case all translations will get the same date as the current translation you are editing, because, as I explained in my first answer, it is not possible to synchronize on the date of the source post.
Note that you always have the possibility to change the date by editing it manually in the Publish metabox.

Do you mean that the displayed dates are not the same on admin and frontend?

It’s the fist time I see something like this and I don’t expect that the issue is coming from Polylang.
Could you try with a different theme? It looks like it always displays the current date and not the publication date.
From the support wordpress theme they have said it could be a compatibility plugin problem with the wordpress theme.
what do you think?

Try with your theme and without Polylang to know.
