Hi,
after installing and setup WPML i got the message in WordPress backend
in German: Sie müssen mindestens eine Sprache konfigurieren, um auf "Theme- und Plugins-Lokalisierung" und "Medien-Übersetzung" zugreifen zu können.
My default is German and English is installed too by default. I pause automatic translation cause I want to setup things first and install all plugins I nedd, e.g. contact form 7, SEO, etc.
Why does this message come and what do I have to do?
And one other thing: on support page within WordPress > WPML > Support the memory limit is shown in red with 40M. Do I have to change something?
Best regards,
Thomas

Hello,

Your languages are configured correctly at WPML > Languages?

Is there one language set as the site's default language?

If so, are you able to dismiss this notification - and if so, does it keep occurring?

About the Memory Limit:

Your current values are:

PHP MemoryLimit 512M
WP Memory Limit 40M
Add this code to your wp-config.php to increase WP memory:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Paste it just before:

/ That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. /

These settings can be limited directly by your hosting provider, so I recommend you contact and ask them to modify them directly.
If you can get even higher values It would be great.

Note: WPML needs a minimum WP Memory limit of 128M to work only under a minimal environment, which means, with a default theme and no other plugins installed.

Best regards
Andreas

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
I just clicked on the X to close the alert message. I didn't come back 🙂 Don't know why it occurred, but it's ok now.
I added the memory configuration in wp-config.php. There had been no memory limit configured. All fine now!
