Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where the icon behind the page title in the WordPress back-end page list would keep spinning after attempting to translate a page, indicating that the translation was not completing. This problem occurred on both the production and staging sites, even after restoring backups and updating the WPML plugin.
Solution: We suggested that the issue might be related to the Avada theme layouts. It was possible that the layouts were created in a language that was later changed or deactivated. The client discovered that by creating a new layout and translating it, there was no issue. Further testing revealed that the problem was specific to the page representing the front page. By cloning the front page, creating a new one, and deleting the old front page, the translation issues were resolved, and everything started to work perfectly again.
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend trying the following steps: 1. Create a new layout and translate it to see if the problem persists. 2. If the issue is specific to a particular page, try cloning that page, creating a new one, and then deleting the old page.

If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket.
