I'm experiencing repeated 404 errors on all WordPress admin pages related to WPML localization JSON files.
**Issue:**
Multiple GET requests to `hidden link` are returning 404 Not Found on every admin page load, regardless of which WPML language is currently active.
**What I observe in the Network tab:**
- Several requests to `en-US.json?version=3.31.0` and `en.json?version=3.31.0` — all returning 404
- Retry attempts are also failing
- This happens on every admin page, not just WPML settings pages
**Environment:**
- WordPress with Bricks Builder
- WPML Multilingual CMS (latest version)
- PHP 8.2 / OpenLiteSpeed / Hetzner
- Multiple languages configured (FR, EN (our United Kingom), EN-US, EN-CA, ES, IT, DE, PL, NL-BE, FR-BE, FR-CA, FR-MA)
**Impact:**
- 2 unnecessary failed network requests per admin page load
- Slows down admin page rendering
- Clutters the browser console/network log
Could you help identify why these localization files are returning 404 and how to resolve this?
Thank you for contacting WPML support. I’ll be happy to assist you with this issue.
The URL is attempting to load translations for the WPML backend system and should not cause any functional problems. I have also forwarded your report to our developers so this can be addressed in a future update.
