Somehow the current language is added in the menu but i havent done anything

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

Problem:
You are experiencing an issue where the current language is being automatically added to the menu on your site using WPML, without any action on your part.
Solution:
We recommend checking if the "Menu language switcher" option is enabled in WPML. Here's how you can address this issue:
1. Navigate to WPML >> Languages > Menu Language Switcher section. If the language switcher is added, you can remove it by clicking on the delete icon.
2. Alternatively, you can hide the secondary languages from frontend visitors by selecting the secondary language option under WPML >> Languages > Hide languages section.
For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on hiding languages on the front-end.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Noman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. WPML automatically adds a language switcher to menus if the "Menu language switcher" option is enabled from WPML >> Languages > Menu Language Switcher section and page is translated to secondary language. You may remove the language switcher by following the either of the below steps: 1. Go to WPML >> Languages > Menu Language Switcher section and click on the delete icon to remove the language switcher from frontend (screenshot attached). 2. You can also hide the secondary languages from frontend visitors by selecting the secondary language option from WPML >> Languages > Hide languages section as you can see in the attached screenshot. Here is a doc for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/hiding-languages-on-the-front-end/ Please let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance with this issue. Thank you for your cooperation
