homeP	the language change function is correct from start to finish. Go to the website and check it out. I ask you to forward the ticket to a developer. I can't get any further with you. There has to be someone who can fix bugs and edit the code

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	I don't see the bugs you mentioned. You have two language switchers because they are activated in two locations. One language switcher is added in WPML → Languages → Menu Language Switcher, while the other is included in your Elementor header template. You can remove the one you don't need. Would you like me to assign your ticket to one of my teammates?

homeP	Offers, read my messages instead of always sending fake instructions. I'll tell you again. The language forwarding is not working properly!! Do you understand that? Please go to the website and change the language, then go to another menu and go back to home. The language kept changing back to English and also the language flags must be where the start type language is and not next to the menu Please get a developer who understands bugs. The same is with the translation, the damn website doesn't translate completely. I've had enough, I'm going to ask for a 100% refund soon.
