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

Problem:
After migrating to Divi 5 and WPML 4.9, the language switcher appears under the top navigation bar.
Solution:
We recommend adding the following CSS to the custom CSS section of your Divi theme to adjust the z-index of the language switcher:

.et_pb_section_0_tb_header {<br />       z-index: 9999;<br />}

This change should make the language switcher appear above the top navigation bar, as shown in the screenshot we provided.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket. We also 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. For further assistance, you can always contact us through the WPML support forum.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. You should be able to fix it by adding the below CSS:

.et_pb_section_0_tb_header {
       z-index: 9999;
}

In the custom CSS section of the theme and it will look as in the attached screenshot.

Kindly let me know the results,
Thank you for your cooperation
