Background of the issue:
I am developing a site with a default language of NL and EN translations. I want to accept FR and DE but need them to be redirected to EN because we are not translating to those languages. It is URL based, so: "/", "/en/".

Symptoms:
I tried to hook into loading and redirecting but cannot figure it out.

Questions:
How can I set up WPML to redirect FR and DE to EN?
What is the correct way to hook into loading and redirecting for language management?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

I am not sure I understand, if you are not translating to FR/DE then how are you setting up this languages? Are those only some URLs that you wish to redirect or?

Please explain with some examples.

Regards,
Drazen
