It sounds like at the moment the Footer Language Switcher is enabled. You further can add a menu language switcher to each of your menus or you can add a custom language switcher. Please read these articles and let me know if you have further questions. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/ https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-switcher/ Best regards Andreas

danielS-327	Unfortunately, I am finding more trouble... I think you getting back into our Word Press Admin to fix these issues is best way to solve. 1. What we do - hidden link Showing English Not Spanish - same original problem. 2. Home Care - hidden link Showing English Not Spanish - same original problem. 3. Education - hidden link This is the really bad one. Showing Eng. language AND totally broken page.

Can you somehow recreate this issue or do you know how to trigger it? How it was solved: I edited the original content in Elementor, saved the page, and then applied the translation again, which solved the issue: hidden link Please do the same for all affected pages or posts. --- Please update the theme and all plugins. Then complete the translation again and let me know if the issue persists. --- Also, please take kindly note that the language URL format "Language name added as a parameter" might be not recommended for running on live sites, as it can lead to unexpected issues and lower your SEO rating score. I would suggest going to WPML > Languages > Language URL format and setting "Different languages in directories". This would make the site work in this way: hidden link > English hidden link > Spanish You will need to resave the WordPress PErmalink Settings after changing this setting.
