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

That might be the issue cause, but I can check and see, I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website. It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore. Make sure you set the next reply as private. Thanks.
