This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to switch the main domain/language for their site from Dutch (agglomix.nl) to English (agglomix.com), and ensure that the English version is available on agglomix.com while the Dutch version is on agglomix.nl.
Solution:
First, change the default language in WPML by navigating to WPML > Languages > Edit languages. Then, to set up different domains per language, follow the detailed steps in our documentation on How to use WPML with different domains per language. If you encounter issues with domain settings such as DNS or server redirects, please contact your hosting or domain provider as these configurations are outside our support scope.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

No specific issue or error message mentioned.

Hi,

You need to change the default language in WPML > Languages > Edit languages.

When I do the above, the situation becomes like this:

> The English version becomes available on agglomix.nl
> The Dutch version becomes available on nl.agglomix.nl

What I want to achieve, is:

> The main website URL should be agglomix.com with the English language
> The second URL should be agglomix.nl with the Dutch language

How can I achieve this?
