Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. I have noticed that the header/footer is coming from the ACF Options page. To display the ACF options page fields into a secondary language you need to follow the below steps:

1. From your dashboard, go to Theme Settings page.
2. Use the language switcher in the top admin bar to switch to a secondary language:
hidden link
3. Click on the Update button in the Publish tab.

Here is a doc for more details:

Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need further assistance with this issue

Thank you
