danielP-54	Hi, We have a website with the default language set to German. Other languages that are set up are English, Dutch and Danish. We need to change the default language from German to English. There are many tickets around this topic, but none seem to give me an answer I got work with. I also could not find a clear instruction document on WPML.org. We understand the SEO consequences of changing the default URL which means the default URL will be in English and German needs to be changed to /de/ I am looking for a how-to guide, or clear instructions. Hope you can help, thanks so much! Regards, Daniel
