Background of the issue:
I am an admin trying to translate from English to German using WPML. I encountered an issue where WPML randomly changes my language pairing to English->Catalan. Previously, it assigned all language pairs to me. The issue can be seen here: hidden link.
Symptoms:
WPML changes my language pairing from English->German to English->Catalan for no apparent reason. This has happened multiple times.
Questions:
Why does WPML change my language pairing randomly?
How can I ensure my language pairing remains consistent?

To enable it, open your wp-config.php file and look for
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
Change it to:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
// Disable display of errors and warnings
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
@ini_set('display_errors', 0);
After this, repeat the action that causes the problem on your site. It means that you will need to wait to see the problem of language pair changes from English -> German to English -> Catalan. The errors will be saved to a debug.log log file inside the /wp-content/ directory. Then please share the errors with us. If the debug.log was already active, please only share the error you encountered during your test to keep the log concise and avoid unrelated errors.
1. Do you remember what the last thing you did before this problem happened?
2. Have I enabled WordPress debug.log as I recommended in my previous reply?
3. If so, can you check for any PHP errors and share them with me?
Also, please update WPML and its add-ons to their latest versions and check if the problem persists. If you don't see that we have new versions, please go to: hidden link
And click the Check for updates button.
