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

Problem:
The client needed to keep the main menus in English while having the menus in the widget area translated into the language of the page.
Solution:
We recommend manually creating or adjusting the menus in the second language to fit your needs. Although WPML automatically translates pages and their menus, you can control the translation of your menus by following these steps:
1. Go to the WordPress menu section.
2. Create or edit the menus for the second language as desired.
For detailed instructions on how to translate menus manually, please visit our documentation:
Translating Menus Manually.

Please note that this solution might not apply to your case if it's outdated or not relevant to your specific situation. If this is the case, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please don't hesitate to open a new support ticket in our support forum.

Hi, is there way to keep the main menus (at the top of a webpage) in English, whilst having the menus in the widget area (side of the page) in the language of the translation.

Which settings can I use to turn off the translation feature for most menus but offer one side menu which will be in a different language?

Hello,

there are no such options as translated pages you should also have the menu translated. But what you can do is use the manual method and create/adjust the menus in 2nd language how ever you wish.
