Background of the issue:
I want to translate the website hidden link from Dutch to Catalonian, without changing the standard language, which is Spanish.
Symptoms:
Googling only suggests changing the standard language.
Questions:
How can I translate my website from Dutch to Catalonian using WPML without changing the standard language?
If I understand correctly, your site is set up with 3 languages.
Spanish is the default language.
Dutch and Catalonian are the secondary languages.
The expected workflow when using WPML is to translate from the default language into the translations.
If you wish to translate from Dutch to Catalonian, you can, however, you will not be able to use the automatic translation feature (translate everything), this feature works only from default to secondary languages.
it seems like you are instead looking to translate from Spanish to Dutch and then from Dutch to Catalonian, in this case:
Please try these steps:
1. Go to WPML->Translation Management -> filter by language 'Dutch'
2. Select the pages/posts you need to translate and send for translation to "Catalonian"
3. Access the translation jobs and translate
OR access the Dutch pages/posts by switching the language and then clicking + to add a translation for Catalonian.
I’m not sure if I fully understand your explanation, so let me provide more context about my issue.
I have a Dutch page that I want to translate via the Pages section. When I click on the gear icon to translate it into English (or Spanish) from Dutch, everything works as expected. However, when I try to translate the same page into Catalan, it shows Spanish as the original language instead of Dutch.
I know that someone changed the settings to make this possible, but I’m unsure how to revert this change. Could you guide me on how to fix this?
You want to always translate from the default language (Dutch) into the translations.
I want to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)
