Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Where can I see the issue? I can see that the menu is in place on your website.

Have you followed this guide? https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/

I do not see the page at https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/. Have you translated the page into French? That could explain it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Could you please demonstrate and explain how you performed the translation? Additionally, could you elaborate on how you created a header and a footer?

I Installed the plugin, the I added Canadian English and Canadian French, went through the setup Traslate everything automatically, it stoped because I ran out of credits so I added more then I guess it finished. I checked and my header and footer were gone on french side, I wasnt even able to translate menu. I did the steps but it did not bring it back.

From the screenshot, I noticed that 26 translations are waiting for review.

Please go to WPML → Translations and approve those translations if some are related to the header or footer. https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-review-automatic-translations-on-your-site/#approving-and-canceling-multiple-translation-reviews-at-once
