The language switcher in my footer currently offers three languages: Chinese, English, and Arabic. When users visit the site, it defaults to the English version. When switching languages, the Arabic and Chinese versions switch successfully, but the site cannot be switched to the English version.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- Please increase the WordPress memory limit to meet WPML's minimum requirements. To do this, you can add this code to the wp-config.php file located in the site folder:

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add the code right above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

2.- Once the WordPress memory limit is increased, follow the steps described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/ to make sure the different domains and the DNS are correctly set up.

Can you tell me the results of the steps described above?
Regards,
Carlos
