Problem: You are trying to display the language switcher in the header on desktop devices, but it has disappeared. Solution: We have identified that a custom class and CSS are hiding the language switcher. We recommend disabling this in the browser inspector to see if the language switcher becomes visible. You should re-evaluate your custom CSS to resolve the issue permanently.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem: The client is developing a site and wants to know if it's possible to create a post in a secondary language (Greek) and have it automatically translated to the main language (English). Additionally, the client asked if the secondary language can be loaded by default when a user visits the website without changing the default language, and if there's a safe way to change the default language to Greek without affecting existing content and translations. Solution: We confirmed that creating a post in a secondary language and having it automatically translated to the main language is supported. However, the automatic translation must be manually triggered in the post/page editor. For an example of how this works, you can view this video: https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cZQnovVR3UV Regarding loading the secondary language by default, this is not possible with WPML directly. A possible workaround could involve redirection via domain DNS or CDN. Changing the default language to Greek is feasible, but it may impact SEO as URL structures will change, affecting the paths of existing content.
