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

Problem:
The client has set German as the default language on their site and translated it to English using WPML. However, many pages, including the cart page, are not functioning correctly in the English version.
Solution:
We recommend increasing the PHP memory limit as it is currently set very low, which may cause unexpected issues. If the problem persists after this adjustment, follow these steps:
1. Temporarily disable all plugins except for WPML, WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce, and WooCommerce. Then, test the issue again.
2. Switch to the parent theme, Storefront, and test the issue once more to determine if the problem is related to the child theme or another plugin.
If the issue still persists, enable WordPress debugging to identify errors:
1. Edit your wp-config.php file and add the following lines before the comment '/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */':

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

2. Replicate the issue.
3. Open the file /wp-content/debug.log and check for any WPML-related errors.
4. Copy and paste the full error message here for further review.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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.

Background of the issue:
I have the default language set on my site as German and the site has been translated to English. I am using WPML for this purpose.

Symptoms:
Many of the pages do not work as intended in the English version, such as the cart page at hidden link.

Why are the translated pages not functioning as intended?

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

First of all, I strongly recommend increasing the PHP memory limit — it is currently set very low and may cause unexpected issues.

If the problem continues after increasing the memory limit, please try the following:

1. Temporarily disable all plugins except:
• WPML
• WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce
• WooCommerce
Then test again.

2. Switch to the parent theme Storefront (the default WooCommerce theme) and test the issue once more.
This helps determine whether the problem is related to your child theme or another plugin.

If the issue persists, please enable WordPress debugging to identify errors that occur when adding a product to the cart.

How to enable debugging
1. Edit your wp-config.php file and add (or update) the following lines before the comment
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

2. Replicate the issue.
3. Open the file /wp-content/debug.log and check for any WPML-related errors.
4. Copy and paste the full error message here so I can review it.
