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

Problem:
When switching to English, all texts remain in German, and the header is not visible.
Solution:
If you're experiencing issues with texts not translating and headers disappearing when switching languages, it's likely due to unregistered Elementor widgets. We recommend registering your custom Elementor widgets for translation. You can learn how to do this by following our guide on registering page builder widgets.

We have registered the elements in your header and footer, and they should now appear correctly translated. If you encounter untranslated content on other posts or pages, you should contact the theme authors to ensure they register the custom elements they created. You can refer them to the same guide.

Additionally, you can add the necessary XML code for registration in WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration tab as outlined in the guide.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 problems persist, please open a new support ticket.

No one said anything about the header looking like this because of an update.

That's because of your work. As you can see, you have duplicate flags in the header and you've shifted the entire menu to the left.

Fix your work correctly.
