This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where your translated menu only displays in the default language instead of the selected translated languages, the likely cause is a setting within WPML. Solution: We recommend checking the 'Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality' option in your WPML settings. You can find this option under WPML > Settings > Make themes work multilingual. Ensure that this option is enabled to allow the menu to display correctly in different languages.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, please visit our support forum to open a new support ticket. We also 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.

Hello,
Do you have any idea what might have caused this issue to occur? Which changes did you make in the last 24 hours?
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further.
You can find the required fields below the comments section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
IMPORTANT
Please be sure to back up your website and database before granting us access.
If you can't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your post and website credentials will be set to "PUBLIC." DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.
I may need to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to create a copy of the website so I can investigate the issue further.
However, I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site or a copy of the website from your server for this purpose.
If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, you can consult your hosting provider. Please note that WPML must also be registered on this staging site at https://wpml.org/account/websites/.
If you are unable to provide such a copy of the website for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

The reason for the issue was that the option "Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality" was disabled at WPML > Settings > Make themes work multilingual.
