Thank you for contacting WPML Support, I will gladly help you.
You can translate your website and after the translation is complete you can:
- change the default language to English,
- after, go to WP-Admin -> WPML -> Languages -> Hide languages section,
- check the checkbox next to the language you want to hide and click "Save"
While you'll be translating the page, you should keep the as a default language the mother language, and the "/en" showing at the URL is expected until you set English as a default language and hide the mother language.
After you have finished the translations, you should switch to English as a default language and follow the instructions I shared in my previous reply to hide the mother language.

Thank you for the access, I was able to check your website and you need to un-check the checkbox next to "Use directory for default language" on the page WP-Admin -> WPML -> Languages -> Language URL format.
After you un-checked that option the default language shouldn't show the "/en".
