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

Problem:
You are trying to translate your entire website using WPML, but the homepage is not translating correctly, causing the design to break.
Solution:
1. Ensure that if your homepage is using a template, this template is fully translated. Follow the guide on translating Elementor templates provided by us: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/.
2. Update the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin to the latest version (v4.7.5). You can update it via Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab. After updating, re-translate the homepage and check if the issue still persists.

If these steps do not resolve your issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the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 the problem continues, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing the debug information.

1.- Please update the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin to the latest version (v4.7.5) that was released today. You can do this in Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab. Then update the homepage translation and double-check if the issue persists.

2.- In my previous message, I suggested following a guide to translate the Elementor templates. Can you tell me if the homepage is using a template?
