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

Problem:
When trying to add a third language to the website, the client was experiencing an issue where they were being redirected to the German page instead of being able to view the Italian page, even when logged in. There were no redirection rules set that would cause this behavior.

Solution:
We recommended checking if the content for the Italian page had been translated and if the translation was published. If the content was not translated or the translation was still in 'draft' or 'under review' status, the redirection to the German page was expected behavior. We advised the client to ensure that the page is fully translated and that the translation status is set to 'published'.

If the solution provided here is not relevant to your case, perhaps because it's outdated or doesn't apply to your situation, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

I am trying to: Add a third language, its still hidden. When I try to view the page I get redirected to the german page. I expect when I'm logged in to see the italian page. There is no redirection rule to the the german page set.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: hidden link

Instead, I got: hidden link

Hi there.

Can you please let me know if you translated the content already?

Because if the content was not translated already, the behavior is expected.

Please check if the page that you are looking at has been translated - or if the translation has been published and is not in "draft" mode or "under review" status.

Please let me know how that goes.

Kind regards,
Mihai Apetrei
