Hey guys,

I just installed WPML on a website. It was set as "English" as the default language. Afterwards I changed default language to "Dutch", but now all the articles, pages etc (which are dutch) are linked to the english language. Is there an easy way to put all the content on there to the standard language (dutch)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Thanks for your contact!

As a workaround, you can bulk duplicate your English content (which is in Dutch) to the Dutch language, using this method: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#how-to-duplicate-pages-and-posts-in-bulk.

Then you might want to remove the previous English language: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-completely-remove-a-language-from-your-site/, and re-add it later (or just let it as the way it is).

Please let me know if these suggestions solve the question or if you still need further assistance. Thank you.

Regards,
Mateus.
