This may be a compatibility issue with the older version of plugins or theme. So please upgrade to the latest version of plugins and theme(including Avada) after a full site backup{mandatory} and make sure the issue exists or not. Please refer to the following change log URL of Avada for more details. hidden link -- Thanks! Bigul

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for the login credentials. I can reproduce the issue on your site. Avada is a compatible theme with WPML. So would like to make sure the issue is existing in a minimal setup(when WPML plugins are only active with the Avada theme). Do you have a staging/dev site(a clone copy of the live site)? Because it will help us to troubleshoot the issue without affecting the live site. Please tries the following troubleshooting steps after a full site backup{mandatory} and make sure the issue exists or not. 1) Go to WPML>>Support page, click on the Troubleshooting link (blue link in the middle of the page) 2) On the Troubleshooting page, please click on the following options of the Clean up section. Wait for confirmation of processing after each one. - Clear the cache in WPML - Remove ghost entries from the translation tables - Fix element_type collation - Set language information - Fix WPML tables collation - Assign translation status to duplicated content - Fix terms count - Fix post type assignment -- Thanks!

marinaT-5	Thank you, I made a staging site and applied the options you said and the translation menu now works! I'll replicate those on the main site.
