Assume that the original language of all strings is English

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: when trying to enable and save the option "Assume that the original language of all strings is English" in WPML -> Theme and plugin localization, I get the message: "Error: data not saved"

Solution: in the backend there are 2 notices about this option. After closing them, it's possible to save the option.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Could you try that too?

jamesM-38	Thanks for that, I didn't think the notices would affect how the settings are saved. I've followed your advice and it worked so thanks for that! Kind Regards, James
