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

Problem:
If you're experiencing duplicated menu items in the secondary language when using Elementor, even after manually rebuilding the menu, this might be due to an interaction issue with other plugins or the theme.
Solution:
We recommend that you first check if the issue persists when only WPML plugins are activated. This will help determine if there is an interaction issue with other plugins. Additionally, try switching your theme to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty. This step will help identify if the issue is related to your current theme.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to use the menu in Elementor, but all menu items are duplicated in the secondary language. See here: hidden link. It seems to have something to do with the menu synchronisation, because it is even worse when we sync the menus. Manually rebuilding the menu in the secondary language does not help. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
Menu items are duplicated in the secondary language when using the menu in Elementor. The issue persists even after manually rebuilding the menu.

Questions:
Why are menu items duplicated in the secondary language?
How can I fix the menu duplication issue in Elementor?

Hello,

Can you please check if this issue appears when:

- only WPML plugins are activated, as it will tell us if there is an interaction issue with other plugin
- theme is set to a WordPress default like Twenty Twenty as it will tell us if there is an interaction issue with your theme

Similar cases we had so far were sometimes related to the theme not handing this properly.

Let me know about your findings!
