Hi there.

Live chat is offered automatically when a new support request is sent, but only when a live chat agent is available.

At the moment, it is a weekend, and fewer people are working.

Please take a look at this existing public ticket - the recommendation offered there might help you resolve this:

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

Kind regards,

Hi there.

Thank you for the update.

Can you please share an example with me? Maybe I understood you wrong.

Can you give me an example of a page in the default language (together with its link), and how would you like things to work in the default language versus the secondary language?

I will be waiting for your response.
