Thanks. I created/applied for a new Registration. The system is now telling me that languages must be mapped ?!

But I don't understand how they are not

I also get these alerts under Languages. So I reset English and French on the right-most fields, saved, and the alerts disappeared, but reappeared upon page refresh..

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you resolve the issue.

This issue may be related to the following ticket: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/default-language-mapping/

Please go to WPML >> Settings >> Automatic Translation and make sure the Translation Engine is enabled. You can refer to the documentation below for more details.

Thanks !

I activated all 4 engines (guess one would have been sufficient but for now I guess that can make us move to the next issue).

The slug and title in the EN (secondary language) are not what appears in the front end... The button 'BACK' at the end of the page is part of a template, hence why it appearin English.

Have always been confused with the 'assigned to translator.. Withe the Classic system I would always for the original page and click the Pencil (now a perpetual cogwheel...), hate all the complicated backend with waiting lists of translations assigned etc etc.. as I am alone to do it all anyway. Why would I assign a task to myself ?

But it has never caused issues not does it on sites I started fresh using the Advanced Editor.

So still confused as to what may be happening.
