Background of the issue:
I am trying to update the language settings for two articles on my website using WPML. We have an English article and a German article, but both were mistakenly set to English in WPML. I need help to ensure the English article remains in English and the German article appears correctly when switching languages through the WPML language switcher. Here are the links to the articles: hidden link (English) and hidden link (German).

Symptoms:
Both articles are set to English in WPML, causing the German article not to appear correctly when using the WPML language switcher.

Questions:
How can I update the language settings for the articles in WPML?
Why is the German article not appearing correctly when using the WPML language switcher?

Hi there.

No worries.

You can set the German one as German, from the right sidebar, and then, you can connect them as explained here:

Please let me know how that goes and if you still need help.
