leeM-17	How to change the default location in English to en global, not just en us. Because I want my default language English to correspond to the global English search audience, not just the American English search audience

Anyhow, I have honestly never heard of such a global default locale, as this value always refers to a specific country unless you use only "en", which would be a valid value. The issue is in WordPress "en" is not used, this is why by default we have to use "en_US", but this is more a WordPress topic and not really WPML related. Also, take note that some default locales can be WordPress-specific as they are used for obtaining language files for WordPress and its themes and plugins: Guide: hidden link Best regards Andreas
