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

Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where the Fibo Search block is not showing in the translated version of your menu, despite being added correctly via Appearance > Menus in the secondary version.
Solution:
We recommend checking the settings at Appearance > Menus on the translated menu. Ensure that you set the Layout for the FiboSearch bar to "Search bar". This adjustment resolved the issue in our local tests.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. 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.

I was expecting a chatbot 🙂 OK

That's the problem. Everything was fine before.

I translated that via strings [wrote in the same] but that did not help.

Hello,

I have been trying to recreate the issue on a sandbox, but the problem does not occur here:

One-Click-Login:
hidden link

Please try to replicate the issue from scratch in this sandbox. Please do not migrate your site over to this sandbox.

If it is not replicable with a simple example, I can offer to take a look at your site as an admin user.

I'd like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further.

You'll find the necessary fields below the comment section if you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide will be private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

IMPORTANT
Please be sure to create a backup of the website and database before granting us access.

If you don't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your login credentials for the post and website will be set to "PUBLIC." Do NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

The private reply form looks like this:

When replying again, click "I still need assistance".

Best regards
Andreas

Note, that Mobile Menu is in a different Elementor container, that shows up only in mobile devices. But I don't think you will need to go that far 🙂

My apologies for the delay in answering, as I only work from Tuesdays to Saturdays.

Did you make sure to translate all Elementor header templates?
- Go to WPML > Translation Dashboard and revise if all header templates are translated.

The provided credentials do sadly not grant access to the site.
- Please verify the provided information and drop me a comment once access is granted.

I ran further tests on my sandbox, this time with Elementor PRO using a Header template, but the issue still does not occur here:

To investigate further, I will try to create a local copy of your website.

At Appearance > Menus, on the translated menu, make sure to set the Layout for the FiboSearch bar to "Search bar".

This solved the issue on my local test.
