michalB-2	In the site there is going to be several languages: English, Spanish, German and Russian. The problem is with the other language that is Chinese and is used on other domain, how can I use the languages switcher to open the Chinese site? I don't want to open this language on the site

If you use any language URL format other than "A different domain per language" for the rest of your languages, you won't be able to use a different domain for Chinese. Alternatively, you can use subdomains for other languages and a different domain for Chinese. Kindly check this page to know more about the "A different domain per language" format. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/how-to-use-wpml-with-different-domains-per-language/) Note: Please check the (Frequently Asked Questions) section on the above page. I hope this helps you. If you need further info, please let me know. Best regards, Osama

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Thanks for your feedback. You can use the Chinese domain URL in the menu as a custom URL, but the language switcher won't work with it because it is not possible to have a mix of languages that use domains and languages that use directories. Best regards, Osama
