Problem: The client wants visitors from non-Dutch countries, like France, to see their website in English instead of Dutch. Solution: We recommend setting up automatic redirection based on browser language, which redirects visitors to their browser's language version of the site. This method does not use geographic location but is effective as most users browse in their preferred language. For detailed setup instructions, please refer to our guide on automatic browser language redirection: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/ If you need redirection based on country, you will require a third-party geolocation plugin, which we do not support, but we can assist in pointing you to options.

Problem: You are using the MotoPress reviews add-on with WPML, and reviews posted in Dutch are visible, but not in English on your multilingual site.

You can use a minimal installation of WordPress, WPML, and necessary add-ons to test. If you're unable to resolve the issue, consider hiring a developer for a custom solution.
Alternatively, use specific shortcodes for each language page to display the correct reviews. For Dutch, use:
