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

Problem:
The client reported issues with incorrect translations in the menu across all languages and problems with the placement and visibility of the language switcher, especially on mobile devices. Additionally, the flags added to the menu were causing the header to shift, and there were discrepancies in media visibility across different languages.
Solution:
1) We corrected the menu translations. The client needs to manually edit the translated menus to include translations for specific strings like 'About Us'.
2) For the language switcher issues, we recommended checking the guide on language switchers to learn about adding them in different locations.
3) To address the footer not being translated, the client should navigate to Footer-> All Footers in their site's admin area and translate the footer.
4) For media not appearing correctly in other languages, we advised going to WPML-> Media Translation and referred the client to the media translation guide.

If this solution does not resolve your issues or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of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.

The images are still causing problems. A few have been automatically set, but not all of those integrated into the page.

Hi,

1) I've edited the CSS for the sticky header. Please check if it works correctly.

2) For the images, please let me know if the translated page is missing any images.

3) We try to keep one issue per ticket in our forum. Continuing with one ticket per issue helps supporters focus on one issue at once and enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster.
Therefore, I've split the form issue and created a new ticket for this issue.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

The header with the flags is now okay. Thanks.

Now there's still the problem with the images. Not all the images on the page are being translated! Some are translated, but others aren't.
