lyndsayP-2	Hello, I am trying to setup multiple subdirectories on my client site (site.com/uk, site.com/es, site.com/eu etc). The site also needs to be translated into Spanish and Chinese Simplified. Currently I have a single site WordPress installation that uses the WPML subdirectories for languages. So its setup like site.com/es. On multisite, would this mean that if I went to site.com/uk and changed my language to spanish, it would go to site.com/uk/es or would it redirect to /es?

If your site URL is hidden link then Spanish as a second language would be on hidden link. More about Multisites with WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multisite-support/ Let me know if you have any further questions about this topic. Best regards Andreas

lyndsayP-2	What you suggest is assuming the directories are setup as seperate domains. My client would like multisites setup as sub-directories such that sitename.com/uk, sitename.com/es, sitename.com/eu. Currently my WPML is setup on one site and set to save the translations in different directories (sitename.com/es, sitename.com/zh-hans etc) Surely wouldnt this mean that the language gets added to end of the subdomain so sitename.com/uk/es Ideally, I'd want the spanish to only exist on /es etc

WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I did not refer to different domains per language, I am referring to directories for languages. Also, take note that, that with WPML you can not run multilingual websites that connect each other between various subsites of your multi-site network. Each subsite has its own language setup and translations. The site URL for your subsite should be http://www.sitename.com - not hidden link From my prior comment: If your site URL is hidden link then Spanish as a second language would be on hidden link; If you want a directory for the site's default language then we have a specific option that adds the language directory for the site's default language on top of the site URL: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/ Best regards Andreas
