Problem:
The client needed to change the default country codes for Malay, Simplified Chinese for China, and Traditional Chinese for Taiwan to /my, /cn, and /tw, respectively.

. We provided guidance to follow our documentation on editing WPML's languages table, which can be found here:

• Editing WPML's Languages Table

After following our instructions, the client successfully added the custom language with the desired code.
