Hello Paul,

This issue depends on the fix for another issue which will be included in WPML 4.6.11.

Until now I am not able to tell if this upcoming version will include a fix a both problems.

The workaround for the issue can be found here:

Best regards

Hi Andreas!

thanks for your reply!
I have a few questions:
1) the issue I have on my site is now an identified issue by WPML and will be fixed?
2) You don't know if the issue will be fixed with the next versions 4.6.11?
3) Do you have an ETA for 4.6.11
4) about the workaround: is there any risk deleting all the content in /wp-content/languages/wpml/missing/

kind regards

Yes, this is a WPML Bug which we became aware of by the end of last week.

Our team is working on a fix but I can not give an ETA yet.

There should be no risk about the workaround.
