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

Problem:
The client is experiencing multiple issues with WPML and Elementor on their website. These include a warning in the WPML Translation Editor for the original English page, only the page title showing in the Translation Editor for Elementor pages, the missing Languages section in Screen Options for products, and no products visible when the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin is disabled.

Solution:
1. Increase the WordPress memory limit by adding the following code to the wp-config.php file:

/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Place it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */.
Verify the memory limit in WPML -> Support.

2. Create a backup of the website or test on a staging version. Add the following code to the functions.php file of the theme:

function wpmlsupp_1891_fix_missing_icl_tables() {<br />    if( function_exists('icl_sitepress_activate') )<br />        icl_sitepress_activate();<br />}<br />add_action('wp_footer', 'wpmlsupp_1891_fix_missing_icl_tables');

Reload the website in the backend and front end, then remove the code.

3. Update all outdated plugins, themes, and WordPress core. Complete the WooCommerce Multilingual setup and flush the cache.

4. Translate the footer and other untranslated elements.

If these steps do not resolve the issues, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 problems persist, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am experiencing a problem with languages in the database of my site hidden link. I am trying to resolve issues related to language settings and translations using WPML and Elementor.

Symptoms:
When I open my Elementor pages in the WPML Translation Editor, I see a warning on the About us page, even though it is the original page in English, which is the primary language of my site. The WPML Translation Editor only shows the page title. Additionally, the Languages section is missing in the Screen Options for my products, and when I disable the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin, I see 3 products published but no products are visible.

Questions:
Why do I see a warning in the WPML Translation Editor for the original English page?
Why does the WPML Translation Editor only show the page title for my Elementor pages?
Why is the Languages section missing in the Screen Options for my products?
Why are no products visible when I disable the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin, despite seeing 3 products published?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

I would like to recommend some steps before one of my colleagues continues with this ticket.

1.- Please increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:`

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

2.- Create a backup of your website. Or better approach will be to test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website.
- Add the code below to functions.php file of your theme:

function wpmlsupp_1891_fix_missing_icl_tables() {
    if( function_exists( 'icl_sitepress_activate' ) )
        icl_sitepress_activate();
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'wpmlsupp_1891_fix_missing_icl_tables' ); 

- Reload the website in the backend and front end.
- Remove the code from functions.php

See if it fixes the issue.

Problem with languages in the database of my site

When I open my Elementor pages in the WPML Translation Editor, I see the warning (please take the screenshot of the warning you see when opening the About us page).
My page in English which is the primary language of my website and I shouldn't see this warning at all because this is not a translation but the original page of the site.
But I had some issues in the past with changing the language and there might be something wrong with my old pages. Next, when I open this page in the WPML translation Editor, it shows only the page title. When I create a new page in Elementor from scratch, everything is fine.
Also when I go to the list of my products I cannot see the Languages section in the Screen Options. This also makes me think that there is something wrong with my site. Also when I disable the WooCOmmerce Multilingual plugin and I go to products, I see3 product published but there are not products visible.
