Overview of the issue

Since WPML 4.5, even if you haven’t translated your site’s menu, WPML renders it on secondary languages. This new feature works great, however, if your menu contains sub-items, the drop-down will look broken.

Workaround

As a workaround you can simply translate your menu or:

  1. Make a full backup of your site.
  2. Edit the /sitepress-multilingual-cms/inc/wp-nav-menus/TranslateMenu.php file.
  3. Look for line 54.
  4. Change: 
     if ( $key !== 'menu_order' ) {
  5. With: 
     if ( !in_array($key, ['menu_order', 'post_type', 'ID']) ) {
