This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to set languages to be domain-specific for your site and want to redirect the English translation to a .eu domain. However, when setting your .nl domain to redirect the English translation to the .eu domain, it results in a blank page.
Solution:
We found that accessing your .eu domain results in a 403 Forbidden Error, which might be due to missing DNS settings, specifically a missing SOA record. To resolve this, please contact your domain and/or hosting provider to ensure that your DNS settings are correctly configured. You can learn more about DNS SOA records here: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-soa-record/.
Additionally, ensure that your second domain (.eu) has a DNS entry that points to the main domain (.nl) to function correctly with WordPress.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to set the languages to be domain specific for my site hidden link. I want to redirect the English translation to the .eu domain. I have set up SSL and DNS, and I am following the documentation at https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/.

Symptoms:
When I set my .nl domain to redirect the English translation to the .eu domain, it results in a blank page.

Questions:
Do I need to set up WordPress with WPML on my .eu domain?
Do I need to do something else to fix the blank page issue?

Hello,

I get a 403 Forbidden Error when trying to access this domain which might be related to the fact that the DNS settings are missing a SOA record.

Similar issue:
hidden link

Please contact your domain and/or hosting provider to solve this issue, as this issue is not caused by WPML.

Also, your second domain will need a DNS entry that points to the main domain, to be functional on WordPress.

Best regards
Andreas
