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

Problem:
The client reported that the navigation and footer disappear when selecting the German version of their site.
Solution:
For the navigation logo issue, we recommended creating a new HTML widget under WP > Appearance > Widgets > Logo and pasting the same HTML there, but selecting the German language for the "Display on Language" option. Here is the HTML code used:

<a href="https://semistaal.com/?lang=de" aria-label="Back to home" class="uk-logo uk-navbar-item"><img alt="DevStack" loading="eager" width="310" height="60" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/semi-staal-logo-web.svg"/><img class="uk-logo-inverse" alt="DevStack" loading="eager" width="310" height="60" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/semi-staal-logo-web.svg"/></a>

Regarding the missing footer, we requested more information on how the client created the footers for the Danish and English versions, which were accessed through WP > Yootheme > Widgets > Bottom.

Thank you so much Kor!

It helped, however, our navigation and footer disappear when we select the German version of the site - can you tell me what the problem is?

Thanks for your reply.

I was able to fix the Logo issue in German language in WP > Appearance > Widgets > Logo > Create a new HTML widget and paste the same HTML there. Then, I selected the German language for the "Display on Language" option as shown in the attached screenshot.

As for the missing footer, I still need more information on how you created the footer for your Danish and English language earlier. I accessed it through WP > Yootheme > Widgets > Bottom. It shows that you've created Footer DK and Footer UK as shown in the attached screenshot.

How and where do you create that?

Pasted HTML in German language Widget :

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" aria-label="Back to home" class="uk-logo uk-navbar-item">
<img alt="DevStack" loading="eager" width="310" height="60" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/semi-staal-logo-web.svg"><img class="uk-logo-inverse" alt="DevStack" loading="eager" width="310" height="60" src="/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/semi-staal-logo-web.svg"></a>
