Problem: The client's website has English and Arabic translations. After changing the default language to Arabic, the URLs still include '/ar/' which should not be the case. Solution: We recommend checking that the option to use a directory for the default language is not active. This setting can be found here: Language URL format documentation. If this option is enabled, it will add '/ar/' to the URLs even if Arabic is set as the default language. Disabling this should resolve the issue.
If the solution provided here is not relevant to your case, perhaps because it's outdated or doesn't apply to your specific situation, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us in the WPML support forum.
