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

Problem:
You are trying to display the WPML language switcher in the navigation bar on your product archive page, but it is not appearing. The language switcher is visible on your homepage, but not on the product archive page. This issue might be due to the Elementor template languages not being linked properly.
Solution:
We recommend that you first ensure that the WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency plugin is activated, as its deactivation might be causing the issue with the language switcher not displaying correctly. Please follow these steps:
1. Make a full backup of your website.
2. Delete the webshop page translation by going to Pages, switching to your secondary language in the top bar, sending the webshop page to the trash, and completely removing it from the trash.
3. Activate the WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency plugin and set it up.

This should resolve the problem with the language switcher not appearing on the product archive page. If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 issue persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to display the WPML language switcher in the navigation bar on my product archive page. The language switcher is visible on my homepage, but it doesn't show up on the product archive page. It seems like the different languages of this Elementor template aren't linked properly, although they both have their own English WPML translation linked.

Symptoms:
The WPML language switcher is not showing in the navigation bar on the product archive page.

Questions:
Why is the WPML language switcher not appearing in the navigation bar on the product archive page?
How can I ensure that the Elementor template languages are linked properly?

Hey there,

I noticed that the plugin WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency is not activated on your website. That's likely the reason on why the shop page is not working properly. Please make a full website backup and follow these steps:

1. Delete the webshop page translation. Go to Pages, switch to your secondary language in the top bar, send the webshop page to the trash and remove it from the trash (make sure to completely delete it);
2. Activate WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency and set it up;

That should solve the issue. Let me know how it goes.
