I started a translation to Danish. The page is translated, but I can't see it.

magneF-2	Hmm... yea. That is probably because the start page in English and German is not the same as in the original language. I remember now that this page needed not to be set to WPML advanced translator. What will happen if I turn it on? Will it cause my page on /en/ and /de/ to be overwritten?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. If you turn that option "on" for your primary language, nothing will happen unless you translate the contents using the "Advanced Translation Editor". For example, if you translate the contents using the "Advanced Translation Editor" to German, only the German page will be affected. Could you maybe give it a try?

magneF-2	I did as you said. However, I still cant see the page as it is redirected to the starting page again.

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean there. When I checked your homepage hidden link on all three different languages, it worked fine. Could you maybe record a short screen recording of the issue that you're facing?

magneF-2	No need to record a video. Just go to hidden link while logged in.

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thank you for getting back to me. I've noticed that you've set the "Danish" language to be hidden, as indicated in the provided screenshot. If you'd like to make it visible, you can enable the "Display hidden languages" option in your profile settings, as demonstrated in the attached image.

magneF-2	Ok, so that helps, but is this the correct behaviour? Isn't the idea of hiding a language for the public to work through the translations before they go live?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's the correct behavior. Hidden languages can only be accessed when you've enabled the option I shown in the profile settings. As for your users, they won't be able to view it.

magneF-2	Ok, I understand now. Thanks.
