Hi there!

Please let me know where you add the shrotcode [maxbutton id="2"], I can´t find it.

It seems you need to create a different shortcode for english.

On this case, please create another button with maxbutton and the update your php code with the following:

add_action( 'ocean_before_logo', function() {

    $current_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );

    if ( $current_language === 'el' ) {
        echo '<div class="header-left-shortcode">' . do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="2"]') . '</div>';
    } elseif ( $current_language === 'en' ) {
               echo '<div class="header-left-shortcode">' . do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="3"]') . '</div>';

    }

});
