Problem: The client was experiencing issues with the menu on the /en/ page being different from the menu on the main homepage. Solution: We recommended that the client should translate the Main Navigation menu into the secondary languages. This involves creating a backup first and then translating the menu to English and German to see if the expected results are achieved. We provided step-by-step instructions and links to our documentation for manual menu translation and auto-sync menu translation.
We also advised that menu translation is a one-time task and suggested prioritizing the translation of pages before proceeding with the menu translation.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the homepage after following previous instructions, resulting in a buggy main homepage and seeking a way to restore or fix the problem. Solution: First, we recommend switching the 'Reading' settings back to the Homepage option after ensuring a full backup of the site. Then, resave the permalinks from Settings>>Permalinks and check if the issue persists.
If the homepage is still buggy, it may be due to incomplete translations. The client should visit the homepage in the default language (Italian) and complete the translations into English and German.
Should the problem continue, we advise the client to perform the following troubleshooting steps after a mandatory full site backup:
Go to WPML>>Support page and click on the Troubleshooting link.
On the Troubleshooting page, click on the following options in the 'Clean up' section, waiting for confirmation after each:
Clear the cache in WPML
Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
Fix element_type collation
Set language information
Fix WPML tables collation
Assign translation status to duplicated content
Fix terms count
Fix post type assignment
Cleanup and optimize string tables
