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

Problem:
The client reported that when their site is in Finnish, and they open one of their products, it doesn't show a dropdown menu to select the English language.

Solution:
We first confirmed that the language dropdown was available on the category archive page but not on the specific product category page the client mentioned. We then asked the client to confirm if the problematic URL was indeed referring to a different section that had its English version available, as this could be the reason why the dropdown was not appearing. We also requested the client to provide the English URL for the problematic page if available, as English was their default language.

If the solution provided here is not relevant to your case, either because it's outdated or not applicable, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at WPML known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us in the WPML support forum.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

I see that category archive page has the language dropdown available at hidden link, but the said URL hidden link hasn't.

I digged a little further and found that "maljakot-ruukut" may also be actually referring to hidden link, is it? Please correct me if I am wrong. Because here I can see it translated because of its English version at hidden link.

But I a may be wrong, could you please explain a little more about the problem or perhaps give its English URL too? Because I see the English is your default language. And may be you need to add English version for hidden link too.

However, besides this, please also provide the debug information of your website for an overview of your setup. See https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ for more information.

I've enabled the debug information section for your next reply.

Additionally you can also take a look at https://wpml.org/faq/checklist-before-opening-a-ticket-in-wpml-support/ and cross-check for a few initial fixes.
