The stack trace you provided indicates an issue related to the `WPML` plugin and its Elementor integration, specifically the `LanguageSwitcherWidgetAdaptor` and `Widget` classes. This issue typically occurs when there’s a compatibility problem between the WPML Multilingual CMS and Elementor.

Here are steps to debug and potentially resolve the issue:

### **1. Update Plugins**
– Ensure all plugins are updated, particularly:
– WPML Multilingual CMS.
– WPML Page Builders integration.
– Elementor and its related add-ons.
– Sometimes, compatibility issues are fixed in newer plugin versions.

### **2. Check for Known Compatibility Issues**
– Visit the [WPML Compatibility Page](https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/) to check for known issues or updates required for Elementor.
– Check Elementor's changelog or support forum for any breaking changes that might have affected third-party integrations.

### **3. Debug WPML Integration**
The error occurs at `WPMLPBElementorLanguageSwitcherWidgetAdaptor->registerControls`. This typically indicates that:
– A required control or function is not being properly registered.
– There may be missing or incompatible dependencies.

#### **Steps:**
– Temporarily deactivate WPML and its add-ons to verify if the error is resolved.
– Re-activate WPML and test if the issue reappears. If it does:
– Navigate to **WPML > Support > Troubleshooting** in the WordPress dashboard.
– Use the "Fix WPML setup" and other troubleshooting options.

### **4. Debug Elementor Widgets**
If the error persists:
– Check if a custom Elementor widget or third-party add-on might be conflicting. Disable Elementor add-ons except for Elementor itself and WPML to isolate the problem.

### **5. Check for Theme Conflicts**
Switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) to rule out theme-specific issues.

### **6. PHP Error Logs**
– Check your PHP error logs to get more details about the specific issue.
– If on a staging or development environment, enable `WP_DEBUG` in your `wp-config.php` file:

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

Errors will be logged in `wp-content/debug.log`.

### **7. Temporary Workaround**
If the error prevents Elementor from functioning:
– Temporarily disable the WPML Elementor integration using this filter in your theme’s `functions.php`:

add_filter( 'wpml_pb_elementor_enable', '__return_false' );

This will disable WPML's integration with Elementor but allow Elementor to work.

### **8. Contact Support**
If none of the above resolves the issue:
– Contact WPML and Elementor support teams with the details of the error.
– Provide them with the exact versions of WPML, Elementor, WordPress, PHP, and any third-party plugins.
