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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with navigation when trying to sync menus using WPML on their site. The WP Memory Limit is set to 40 MB, which is below the minimum required for WPML (128 MB), potentially causing the problem.
Solution:
1. We recommend increasing the WP Memory Limit to at least 128 MB, ideally to 256 MB, to ensure smooth operation of WPML, especially with translations or high traffic. Here’s how to do it:
- Open your site’s

wp-config.php

file (usually found in your WordPress root directory).
- Add the following line just before the comment that says: // That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Save the file and re-upload it if you edited it locally.
2. After updating the memory limit, verify the new setting in Tools → Site Health → Info → WordPress Constants to ensure it displays 256M (or at least 128M).
3. For further guidance on translating menus, please refer to our detailed guide: Translating Menus
4. If the issue persists or if the navigation problem specifics were not addressed, please describe your specific issue in more detail, possibly with screenshots or a video link.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- Please describe the problem you are facing when translating the navigation. You can attach screenshots or share a link to a video describing the problem.

2.- I recommend reading this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/ where you will find the steps to follow to translate the menus correctly.

3.- Please increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:`

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

Regards,
Carlos
