marcP-63	Background of the issue: We are currently running a multilingual WooCommerce site with WPML, using different languages in directories. Our main domain is lofderkruiden.be, and the English version is located under lofderkruiden.be/en. We would like to move the English version to a separate domain: inpraiseofherbs.be. This domain will serve only the English content, while the Dutch content will remain on lofderkruiden.be. Symptoms: No specific issue or error message mentioned. Questions: What is the best practice in WPML to achieve this setup? Can we configure WPML to serve the English version from inpraiseofherbs.be, and Dutch from lofderkruiden.be? How can we manage SEO and redirects properly and make sure canonical and hreflang tags are correctly handled?
