Dropdown not working in Gutenberg, Theme 2024

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

Problem:
The client manually translated content in WPML Editor. Dropdowns are visible in the Admin area, but on the live site, clicking the dropdown shows only the current language with a 'Down-Arrow' and no further action occurs. Additionally, clicking on elements in the Footer also shows no response.
Solution:
For the issue with the navigation link leading to the incorrect language version of the 'Blog', it can be adjusted in Kadence → Navigations. Here are the steps to correct it:
1. Choose the correct language.
2. Edit the navigation.
3. Add the correct link for the blog.
For adding a Spanish header, follow these steps:
1. Translate the navigation to Spanish. (Note: The translation editor was disabled, and it seems it was done with the WordPress editor.)
2. Translate the header to Spanish.
3. Assign it in Appearance → Editor and then Patterns → Header.

After clicking on page 2 ... still page one appears again! So actually I cannot see your reply anymore. Browser cache, maybe? For me, it seems to be working fine. 1. In the english menue, the Link "Blog" leads to the german "Blog" It can be adjusted in Kadence → Navigations. I have adjusted it for you. Choose the correct language, edit the navigation, and add the correct link for the blog. 2. The page is also translated in spanish. How can we add the spanish Header? Do we also create that by hand? Yes, basically you need to do/follow the same as I described in my previous comment, but only for Spanish. So the steps are: 1. Translate navigation to Spanish (I disabled the translation editor, as I think it was done with the WordPress editor) 2. Transalte header to Spanish 3. Assign it in Appearance → Editor and then Patterns → Header.
