I understand the issue you're having. While checking, I found that the 404 error was generated directly by the web server. That means the resource requested by the client cannot be found on the server. Conversely, with a website-generated error, you would typically see the website's layout accompanied by a 404 error or a message such as "The page couldn't be found."
Could you please try the following and check if that helps to solve the issue?
- Take a full backup of the site including the database
- Remove the caches from the site and server.
- Navigate to the root directory of your site using the File Manager in your hosting control panel.
- You'll find a file name '.htaccess'. Open the file in Editor.
- Copy the contents within it and save it on your Computer
- Now, replace the htaccess rules with the default rule mentioned here: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/htaccess/#basic-wp
- Save the changes and try to access the German or Spanish version of the Homepage.
If the issue persists after that, it will be better if you contact your hosting/server administrator to inquire about the root cause of the 404 error. Given that the 404 error is managed by the server, precise information regarding the nature of the error should be available in the server's error log. If possible, please get the server error log immediately after encountering the 404 error and share it in the next response. I will check and suggest you what to do next.
Looking forward to your update and eager to assist you further.
Best regards,
