[Fermé] Wrong source language

Hello,

I'll help you while a supporter takes your case

The content in the screenshot is German for the source, why would you want it to be french? I mean do you have the page previously translated and want the content to appear as french and not German?

If so, please make sure that in WPML > Translation dashboard, you set the option for the source language content to be french.

Please try it out and let me know what you see in the translation dashboard page.

Were you perhaps using the German backend when you created this translation? Because the source language of this page — from which you’re translating into English — does indeed match the German content.

I checked the page lien caché, and there don’t seem to be any language assignment issues there — it’s correctly set and displaying in English.

As for how the other page ended up with German as the source, it likely happened because the translation was started from the German version instead of the French one. In WPML, when you open a page in the German backend and create or edit a translation from there, WPML assumes German is the original language.

So, even if the main source content was originally in French, the moment the translation was created from the German backend, WPML reassigned the source language to German.

To better understand the situation, could you help clarify why the current source-language setup is causing issues on your side? At the moment it is not entirely clear to me what part of the workflow is not working as it should.

Regarding the checkout confirmation page (lien caché
), could you please record a short screen capture using a tool such as Loom lien caché, or alternatively provide screenshots of what exactly fails? This would help identify whether the problem is directly related to the source language configuration or if something else is involved.

Let's say for this page:
lien caché

What happens if you try this:
- go to Translation Dashboard
- choose French language (site default) and select that page
- create a translation job like this https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/#how-to-use-translation-dashboard and assign to yourself
- after this go to WPML -> Translations and take it

What is the source language then? You can do this for any page, assuming it was created in French as the original language content.
