Background of the issue:

Symptoms:
Pages are translated in another language, but I don't see them translated.
Questions:
How can I translate content myself using WPML?
How do I set up menu translations in WPML?
Why are pages not appearing translated even though they should be?
Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with first debugging steps or if I can perhaps help with the issue quickly. If you prefer to translate the content yourself rather than using automatic translation, you can go to WPML -> Settings and disable the "Translate everything automatically". Then, when you are ready to translate your content, you can go to WPML -> Translation Management, select which pages and posts you want to translate, and send them to yourself as a translator. You can then go to WPML -> Translations to translate them. Alternately, when viewing the list of pages, you can click the pencil icon or + icon next to each page to edit or add a translation.
As for menus, if you are using standard WordPress Menus, you can sync your menus once your pages are translated by going to WPML -> Menu Sync. If you are using templates to display your menus, such as with Element or Page Builder, then you want to make sure you translate the templates as well. If you can send us a little more info about how your site is set up, we can help with more detailed translation steps.
Lastly, you said pages are translated but you don't see them. Can you explain this in more detail? Do you mean you translated them using WPML but don't see them on the front end? If so, make sure they are translated 100% and you do not have secondary languages hidden in WPML -> Languages settings.
I translate a couple of pages , but the Wei site url and pages still in English now, I believe the credits was deducted but the content and the page is in English
I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
Thanks for your reply. I've checked your Website and I can see some incomplete translation here hidden link . You can check out the sidebar Language section. Please click on the language and complete the translations, and it will show up on the frontend.
