Tell us what you are trying to do?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

I want to make my site has two languages (English and Swedish).
First I added the Swedish language as the default language but the whole website (Backend and front end) become in the Swedish language. That I don't want.
Then I tried to make English the default language. The backend becomes in English as I want, but the website doesn't work fine. Some pages missing and the plugin saved the old settings (Swedish is a default).
Note: I use Estiene - Sweets & Bakery WordPress Theme that supports WPML.

I need your help to make my site multilanguage (English and Swedish).
The backend must be in English.

When I try to reset everything I get this message:

We have detected a problem with some tables in the database. Please contact WPML support to get this fixed.

Hello,

You should set the default language in which your content is created and your website. Then translate to 2nd language.

As per user admin language, you change that from your user profile and set it to be what you want, it is not related to WPML / website default language.

- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/#id5

As per reset WPML, make sure you do not have any security plugins enabled. Then use reset tool from WPML → Support > Troubleshooting > Reset WPML. You can try that a few times and it should be fine. Activate the plugin and configure it.

- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/deleting-languages-and-plugin-data-by-doing-a-wpml-reset-on-your-site/#step-3-do-the-wpml-reset

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen
