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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with translating their homepage into multiple languages (NL, GR, DU, FR). The translation process disrupts the homepage layout, particularly affecting the header and footer, and fails to translate the main page content.
Solution:
If you're encountering similar issues with your homepage translation, we recommend you follow these steps:
1) Ensure that all pages and menus are fully translated. For guidance on translating menus, visit Translating Menus.
2) Confirm that Elementor templates, including headers, are translated. For more information on translating Elementor templates, check out Translating Elementor Templates.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the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

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate my homepage into NL / GR / DU / FR. The issue can be seen at hidden link.

Symptoms:
Translation breaks the home page, and the content is not translated. I got a messed up header and no translation on the main page.

Questions:
Why is the translation breaking the home page?
Why is the content not translated as expected?

Hello,

great, glad to hear that.

How are you adding the header to your default page? If you have created the Elementor header template, have you also already translated it or?

Let me know, please.

Thanks,
Drazen
