Background of the issue:
I am trying to update the language settings for two articles on my website. We have an English article and a German article, but both were mistakenly set to English in WPML. I need help to ensure the English article remains in English and the German article appears correctly when switching languages through the WPML language switcher. Here are the links to the articles: hidden link (English) and hidden link (German).

Symptoms:
Both articles are set to English in WPML, causing the German article not to appear correctly when using the WPML language switcher.

Questions:
How can I update the language settings in WPML so that the English article remains in English and the German article appears correctly?
What steps should I follow to correct the language settings for these articles in WPML?
