semz-3	Background of the issue: I am trying to set up my WordPress site with WPML to have only Dutch as the default language and plan to add English later. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link. Symptoms: Even though I have only one language enabled, it still prompts me to 'edit translation' as if there are multiple languages. Questions: Why does it say 'edit translation' when I have only one language enabled? How can I set Dutch as the default language without adding English yet?

WPML us not developed to handle one language as the whole point of using WPML is to make a WordPress website multilingual. You will need to deactivate WPML to not see the option in question. Alternatively, I suggest that you add the English language and then use the Language Hide feature, to hide it from the frontend of the website. You will have access to English but you will show it whenever you are ready.

semz-3	Yes this is exactly what I did already. But it looks like my Dutch (default) language is written by WMPL as the translation
