This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client was unable to use the automatic translation or manually translate pages. Additionally, the settings and support tabs were missing from the plugin menu, preventing access to debug information. Solution: We identified that some page records were not being correctly retrieved from the database. To fix this, we: 1. Navigated to WPML => Support. 2. Clicked on "Troubleshooting". 3. Performed the necessary actions on the Troubleshooting page. After these steps, the homepage should now be visible in the translated language.
For the issue with posts not showing, it was found that they were in the trash. We advised the client to: 1. Go to Posts. 2. Check the trash for the English language posts and review them.
Regarding the forms issue, we suggested that it might require a separate support thread as we aim to focus on one issue per thread.
If this solution doesn't seem relevant to your situation, please don't hesitate to open a new support ticket with us.

Hi, I need your help because I can't use the automatic translation or translate any page by myself.
I neither can't see the settings nor support tabs in the plugin menu, so I can't share with you the debug information, but as I'm telling you, the translation is not working.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)
**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **
I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.
Thank you for the feedback, I was able to do some further tests and verify that this issue is coming from a third party plugin.
Please do the following:
1. Take a backup of your site
2. Go to plugins and deactivate all third party plugins except WPML and it's add-ons
3. Notice the WPML plugin is now showing all the menu items
4. activate plugins in batches of 5 until the issue comes back in order to see which plugin is causing this behavior.
If possible I would highly recommend doing this on a staging environment.
I still see some issues in the forms, find attached 3 screenshots of what I'm talking about, Two of them looks like a problem with the translation, the other is a not translated form. I've tried to find where to fix this, but I didn't...
Also, posts are translated but don't appear in the blog page.
Thanks again for your help and your patient.
