Problem:
The client is planning to switch their multilingual website from using different languages in directories to using different domains per language and is concerned about potential issues during this transition.
Solution:
If you're planning to switch to different domains for each language, here are the steps we recommend:
1. Ensure that all domains for each language are properly configured to point to the same WordPress installation by setting up the DNS records accordingly.
2. Make sure your server is configured to handle requests from these domains. This might involve setting up virtual hosts or adjusting server settings.
3. Update the WPML settings to reflect the new domain structure. You can do this by specifying that you're using different domains for each language in the WPML settings. For detailed guidance, visit How to use WPML with different domains per language.
4. If your site uses HTTPS, ensure you have valid SSL certificates for each domain. This may require obtaining separate certificates or a multi-domain (SAN) certificate.

While switching the option should be straightforward, adjustments might be needed. If this solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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.
