Problem: If you're trying to edit text strings for the main language in WPML, but can't find an option to change the default language string. Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Navigate to WPML > String Translation page. 2. Select the strings you wish to change or translate in the default language. 3. Use the “Change the language of selected strings” dropdown to assign a dummy language. This allows you to translate or change those strings in the default language. For more detailed guidance, please visit our documentation on how to change the source language of strings.
If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at our support forum.
