Symptoms: I didn't find any documentation to follow. Questions: How can I set the secondary language part of my site to a 'coming soon' state?

Alejandro WPML Supporter since 02/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Italian (Italiano ) Timezone: Europe/Rome (GMT+02:00)	Hello, That's not something we offer. there is no "global" state of your site's language in the front-end really, each page will have a translation and as long as the homepage exists in the translated language, you'll see the correct language switcher language translation if available. What you can do is HIDE the language so it's not visible to the clients or just create a homepage in the translated language adding a "coming soon" design of your choosing. Regards,

gaborR-4	The "coming soon" option for a specific secondary language would be a very useful feature. For now, I "solved it" by targeting the `html[lang="en-US"]` element with some custom CSS.
