This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are using WPML with the default language set to German and a secondary language of English, and you want to configure WPML so that automatic translations use British English (en_GB) instead of American English (en_US). You are unsure if automatic EN-GB output is possible or if the system defaults to EN-US for automatic translation.
Solution:
Currently, WPML does not support a separate option for British English (en_GB) in automatic translations; it defaults to American English (en_US). This limitation is not specific to WPML but is due to the capabilities of major automatic translation engines like Google Translate, DeepL, Microsoft Translator, and Amazon Translate, which only support a generic English version, effectively American English. You can check the currently available languages for automatic translation here.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
