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

Problem:
On your website, translations for German and Hebrew are appearing broken, while the Polski translation displays correctly.
Solution:
We recommend deleting the damaged German and Hebrew homepage translations and recreating them. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Delete the German and Hebrew Homepages and ensure they are also removed from the trash.
2. Use the WPML Translation Editor to recreate these translations. To do this, open the original Homepage in the WordPress Editor and switch the translation method to WPML Translation Editor in the right sidebar.
3. Since these pages were previously translated using the WPML Translation Editor, the translations should still be saved in the translation memory. You will need to confirm them again.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello,

Could you please take a look at WPML > Support > WordPress.

Do you see any warning about the WP MEMORY LIMIT?

Please take a look at the wp-config.php file and verify that the following line is set correctly:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

On the provided debug information it looks as if the "M" is missing:

Once having made this adjustment, please complete the translations again,

If this does not solve the issue, please let us know and we will be glad to assist you on this matter.

Best regards
Andreas

The issue is only with the German and Hebrew homepages. All other pages are fine.

The only solution that worked out so far, was deleting the damaged pages and recreating the translations.

I used the WPML Translation Editor for this purpose. On your site I have made some adjustments to custom field settings, to make sure that the theme options are copied over to each translation.

Make sure to delete the German and Hebrew Homepages and remove them from the trash.

To enable the WPML Translation Editor as the translation method, open the original Homepage on the WordPress Editor and switch the translation method for this page inside the right sidebar to "WPML Translation Editor.

According to what I see you already translated these pages earlier with the WPML Translation Editor, as the translations are still saved inside the translation memory. You only need to confirm them again.

Please give this a try.
