WPML allows you to hide one or more languages on the front-end. You can do this while you are still translating your site into a new language if you don’t want to show the site partially translated.

To hide a language on the front-end, go to the WPML → Languages page and in the Hide languages section select all the languages that you want to hide. After selecting the languages click the Save button.
