Background of the issue:
I am trying to have my Elementor translated pages served correctly, not as error pages that are 'cache formatted'. I have troubleshot for a couple of hours with chat GPT. It seems my Homepage and Search pages are the only ones serving correctly in the translated versions. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
I expected to see a normal page formatted full width in Elementor. Instead, I got an 'id "error-page"' that looks like some kind of cached version of the page. I have tried many ways to clear the cache, but nothing works.

Questions:
Why are my Elementor translated pages rendering as cached error pages?
How can I ensure that all translated pages are served correctly?

I upgraded the memory limit - define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); - no change

I cleared browser cache and it seems to have worked.

It worked once on a private browser page... but the issue persists, also the language switcher doesn't have a dropdown on the original language page. I have checked the translations of these pages (About, Contact< Swiss Canton, My Account) say complete and they are connected to the original page (in the WP editor) so I don't get it.

I even tried to delete the Auto translated About pages and recreate the translated versions and the same issue persists - serving an error page (sometimes) language switcher not functioning. I thought it might be the menu so I created new menus for each language - this also didn't help. now I think I need to revert this as it seemed to be a mistake. The menu and language switcher were working for Home page and Search page but all other pages from the main menu were not working..

Hello,

I apologize for the delay in responding. I will take care of this ticket; the reply time will be shorter now.

I visited hidden link and managed to see the error. But the URL seems to be wrong. The About page translated version is here:
hidden link

I browsed the French version of your site and didn't find any 404.

Did you manage to fix it? If not, can you please elaborate on the steps I should take to see the problem.

Best Regards,
Otto
