jakobM-4	Hi I just installed WPML on a test site and noticed that some content (eg. widget content) is set to the wrong default language. My default language is Danish, but the widget show up as english content. Also some content is set to Danish even though it is in English How do I make sure all content is set to Danish as default when installing WPML and Woocommerce Multicurrency?

Mohamed Sayed	Hi there, Thanks for contacting WPML support. When some original strings are added in a language other than English, you may see an incorrect source language on the String Translation page. This can be fixed by changing the source language of those strings, please follow the steps mentioned here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/ For other content types, you won't see the same behavior because when you create a post/page/product in the default language (Danish), the original language of this content will be always the same. Kind regards, Mohamed
