Hello I´ll be helping you with this issue. However, I am unable to reach the dashboard of your installation. The link you provided does not present the normal WordPress login screen. Do you have another link that you can provide where I can enter the credentials you submitted? Thanks |

Hello Thank you for the access. Could you please confirm my understanding of the issue. You want that all of your current translations be sourced from the NL language. e.g. NL -> EN and NL ->FR Is this correct? The "default language" is not the same thing as the "source" language of a post. If you would like to change the source language, you would have to do this in 2 steps. 1. Complete any outstanding updates so that the pencil icons appear. In this way, you can then change the source of the translations to be NL. Did I understand the objective correctly? Also, you should realise that if you are using either the Classic Translation Editor or the Advanced Translation Editor, all edits are stored in a secondary location. If you use these editors, it will indeed load the source language text into the editor only. The contents of the translation editor are only synched to the post when the translation is marked as complete. |

Hi Yvette, Thank you. Yes, you are understanding it correctly. We've tried to manage the steps that you've mentioned, but can you explain step 2? Where can we edit the NL page in manual mode and "disconnect" it as a translation from the original EN version? |

Hello Please find the following screenshots that explain the process in more detail. I used a product called "Solid Door Freezer<br>BF600.1INOX 1. Toggle editor to manual mode Note, I realise that this is a bit tedious but this is the correct online way to do the change from the dashboard. You can also edit the database directly but you will need to be proficient in SQL to do this. The table that you would touch woudl be "icl_translations" table and you it would require that you know the post_types and ids of the entries you want to change. |

Hi Yvette, Thanks for the clear explanation. I've tried it myself and it works perfectly now. There is no bulk option to do all products in the way you explained? Best regards, Joost |

Yes. You understood correctly that there is no "bulk" tool to do this. Your option is to manually modify the entries in the database table icl_translations. Here is more information about the WPML table structures Specifically for each set of table entries linked by a common "trid" value, you want to change the NL entry to have the source language of "NULL" and the EN entry to have the source language of "NL". |
