This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client wanted to change the default language of their website's pages from English to Dutch and then translate them to English and German. They attempted to disconnect the translations by setting 'This is the translation of' to '--None--', but it reverted back to the original language after saving. They referred to a support forum topic but were unsuccessful.
Solution:
We identified that the issue was due to outdated WPML plugins. After updating the plugins, we were able to disconnect the secondary language products from the primary language by following the instructions provided in the documentation.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Update WPML plugins to the latest version.
2. Disconnect the secondary language products from the primary language using the provided documentation.
3. Link the products back to the English language product.
4. Select 'Make [Language] the original language for this page' as described in the documentation.
If this solution does not seem relevant to your issue, please open a new support ticket with us.
