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

Problem:
The client was experiencing layout issues on their blog when switching from French to English using WPML. Images were not loading, margins were incorrect, and some icons appeared oversized. The client had tried deactivating plugins without success and was working on a staging site.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps to resolve the layout issues:
1. Resave the problematic pages. This can often refresh the settings and correct the layout issues.
2. Adjust the WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation settings to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language" for posts. This ensures that untranslated posts still display correctly in the translated version of the site.
3. For specific pages like the 'about' page, changing the URL slug in the English version might help.
4. Use the method described in https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-subscription-for-multiple-sites/#how-to-connect-your-sites to merge translations effectively.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the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 problems persist, please open a new support ticket at https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/ for further assistance.

Thank you very much ! I can't believe it is that simple. I checked all my pages and I just had to tweak the layout sometimes as some box weren't contained anymore even with the resaving but it's working !

You're the best, thank you for your help ! Have a great day !
