Problem: You need an easy way to display two-letter language codes (like EN and FR) instead of full language names (English or Français) in the WPML language switcher on your site. Solution: We recommend you go to WPML → Languages → Site Languages and click the Edit Languages button. Here, you can modify the language names to use two-letter codes as desired. For detailed guidance, please visit our documentation: Editing WPML's Languages Table.

Problem: The client is trying to edit the French version of their posts using the regular WordPress editor instead of the WPML Advanced Editor. They find the process of having to first go through the Advanced Editor to create a 'not-really French' translation before being able to use the WordPress editor tedious and are looking for a way to directly edit posts with the regular WordPress editor. Solution: We recommend checking the documentation on Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages. To use the regular WordPress editor for translations, you should: 1. Go to the WordPress Edit Page for the default language of the post. 2. Ensure that on the right side, you select the WordPress Editor instead of the WPML Advanced Editor.
