The site’s default language setting (as explained here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/manage-archive-listings-default-language-change/#what-happens-when-you-change-your-sites-default-language) only controls which language will open when someone first visits the site. However, changing the default language does not automatically translate the content itself. For example, if a page was originally created in German with German text and SEO metadata, those will remain in German. To have them appear in English, they need to be translated and set up accordingly. Could you confirm if what you’re asking is only about switching the default language, or if you also want the actual page content and meta details translated into English? That way I can clarify further and guide you on the best approach.  |
