Menu language switcher

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

Problem:
The client couldn't see the language switcher on his second language. However after visiting his site I could see that the entire header was missing.

Solution:
Page builders such as Elementor use templates for Headers and Footers, those templates can be translated in "WPML > Translation Management"

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. To help speed up the support process, I've enabled a private message for submitting the debug information for this support ticket. Please follow these initial debugging steps: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ In short: - Go to "WPML > Support > Debug Information" (link) - Copy the Debug Information from there. - Find the private field I activated and paste that information. --- Now regarding your question, I visited your site and I don't have any header in English neither. I even tried to scroll down and scroll up again (in case there is some sort of animation for the header). The only language switcher I found was in the footer and it works well on both version English and Vietnamese. SO I will give you a general answer here. Our documentation explain how to translate Elementor templates, Header and footer are considered as templates, so don't forget to translate them.
