lauraN-19

Background of the issue:
I have pages that are correctly translated in the back office, but they do not appear in the language switcher on the site. This issue can be seen on the page: hidden link

Symptoms:
The French language appears in the switcher when looking at the English version, but the English version does not appear when looking at the same page in French. This happens for several pages. Additionally, the language switcher sometimes points to a completely random page, even though the real translation existed and was linked.

Questions:
Why are the translated pages not appearing in the language switcher?
Why does the language switcher point to random pages instead of the correct translations?

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

This may be a compatibility issue. To make sure please enable the Footer Language switcher from WPML>>Languages>>Footer language switcher and confirm whether it gives the expected results or not. Refer to the following article for more details.

https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/

It looks like this issue only happens with the French posts and pages. Becuase I switch between the German and English pages.
