Hi,

There are different factors that this issue might occur, depending on your server/host subdomain configuration or a security/firewall configuration that prevents WPML from validating the domain on save.

Generally, this is a false positive and you can proceed further by unchecking the "Validate on save" box and clicking save.
It should save the configuration and everything should work fine.

Let me know if you need any more help and if everything is working correctly.

Regards,
Marsel

Configuring domains/subdomains should be done by your web hosting company and you'll need to contact their support team to check if your domain/subdomain works properly.

You can do a quick test to check the domain/subdomain is configured:

Before you set the option in WPML, simply visit your new domains or subdomains. They should all show the same site without a redirection.

For example, if you have the domains “example.com” and “example.de” (and WPML is deactivated) you should see the same content when you visit any of these domains.

For more details on what should you ask your hosting company check:

Let me know if there is anything else I can help with on configuring a different domain per language.

Marsel
