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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with their multilingual website where custom post fields' names are translated, but their values remain in the original language. Additionally, the language menu is missing in the Spanish version of the courses, and a development notice banner appears in the footer across all pages.
Solution:
For the issue of field values not translating, we recommend checking the WPML translation settings for custom fields. Ensure that the fields are set to 'Copy' or 'Translate' depending on your needs. You can find more information on configuring custom fields for translation here: Translating Custom Fields.
For the missing language menu, ensure that the WPML language switcher is correctly configured and added to your menu locations. Detailed steps can be found here: Language Switcher Options.
Regarding the development notice, re-register your website following the steps in the 'What if the notice still appears after moving to production?' section here: How to Remove the Development Site Notice.

If these solutions do not resolve your issues or seem outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.

Hi Lucas,

Thank you for your support.

Exactly, the course layout is also built with custom post fields. when we send to translate these pages, the name of the fields are translated but the values of the fields remain with the original language.

For instance, this is a coaching course which original language is catalan:

the translated page in spanish looks like this:

hidden link

As you can see, the fields like 'Fecha de inicio', 'Fecha fin', 'Modalidad', 'Horario', etc. are translated properly. However, their values remain in catalan.

Moreover, in te spanis version of the courses the menu languages is not shown.

Finally, in the footer of all pages is shown the banner with this text 'This site is registered on wpml.org as a development site..' I think it is because I have to profiles with this domain but I don't know which one I have to remove and how to do it.

Thank you,

Joan

Hey there Joan,

regarding the development notice, it's best to re-register your website. You can follow the steps described in the section "What if the notice still appears after moving to production?", in the link below:
