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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where the product section layout breaks when switching the website language from English to another language, such as French. The products, which should display in a 3-column layout, are misaligned and only two products are displayed.
Solution:
If you're facing a similar issue with your product layout when changing languages, we recommend the following steps:
1. Ensure you take a backup of your site for safety.
2. Update all your plugins, including Elementor Pro and WPML, to their latest versions.
3. Update your Astra theme to the latest version.
4. Open the default language home page in Edit mode and make a minor change, such as adding a space or a plus sign in the page title, then update the page. Remove the change and update the page again.
5. Send the home page for translation again from WPML >> Translation Dashboard.
6. Clear all types of cache (site/server/CDN) to see if the issue resolves.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.

I’m facing an issue with the product section on my website.

When the default language is set to English, all products display correctly in a 3-column layout. However, when I switch the website language (for example, to French), the product layout breaks — only two products show, and the entire section becomes misaligned.

This issue seems to be related to the language switcher affecting the product carousel/grid layout.

Could you please check and help fix this issue?

I have attached screenshots for your reference.

Thank you.
