I am trying to set the user profile's language preference based on the language of their registration page. And the default language I am currently setting it to Traditional Chinese(zh-hant). And also I have just updated the wpml and i wonder whether user's language redirect based on detection of the user's device still in effect. Before i used it but i notice a significant slowness in the site performance. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: I expected to see:the actual name of the language Instead, I got:i got the "Site Default Language" |

Hello there, Welcome to WPML support forum. WPML does not provide you a feature to redirect your users depending on your registration page. However, it does provide you a redirection tool based on the user's browser language. This feature is available at WPML > Languages > Browser language redirect. Documentation: Best regards, |

Thx! Is the customer's language preference being set based on the language interface that they are registering and purchasing? When the user profile's language said "Site Default", is that mean it is the default language set of the website? Then it might not be the language of the user's purchasing interface. |

I think there is a little misunderstanding. Our "Browser language redirect" works based on the Browser. Let's say that the user has configured Chrome or Firefox in French. If your site has been translated into french, the first time the user visit your site, he will be redirected to the french version. Regards |

Ok so my original question is that i know on wordpress's user profile, there is a dropdown called "Language" which captures the language of the user. How is this dropdown being determined? I notfice some of them saying "Site default". Is that mean the default language on the wpml setup? How can i make this dropdown selection based on the language interface when customer register or purchase item? |
