Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the WPML language switcher on their site. When switching to Arabic, the URL incorrectly shows /ar/fr instead of just /ar. Additionally, search results do not match the set language, always defaulting to Spanish. Solution: We have identified that the issue with the language switcher URL showing /ar/fr instead of /ar is due to a redirection that eventually leads to the correct /ar URL. This behavior suggests that the problem might not be directly related to WPML but could be due to a compatibility issue with another plugin. We recommend setting up a staging environment or providing a Duplicator package of your site so we can further investigate this issue in isolation from other plugins.
For the issues related to search results not appearing in the selected language, please open a separate support ticket with detailed examples so we can address this specifically.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant, 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. Should the problem persist, please open a new support ticket.
