Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and trying to ensure that the language switcher works properly. When I open the site by clicking on the Visit Site option from the WordPress dashboard, it should open the English version.

Symptoms:
The site opens the default Hindi version only, and the language switcher at the bottom of the site is not working.

Questions:
Why does the site open in the default Hindi version instead of English?

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

Normally the Dashboard Texts and links will be displayed based on the User profile language. Please refer to this doc for more details - https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/setting-the-wordpress-administration-language/

We hope you are using the Footer language Switcher (on the frontend) and you have translated the posts & pages to the secondary languages. Please confirm and let us know your feedback.
