judithR-10	Background of the issue: I use WPML for translation of my site from German into English. The structure for German is like domain.de and domain.de/xy/. For English, it should be like domain.de/en/, domain.de/en/xy, and domain.de/en/category-page. I chose the setting 'Different languages in directories'. Symptoms: When I open the homepage for German, it opens like domain.de/de/ which should remain domain.de. Now I have deactived all wpml plugins but still there is now: domain.de/de/de/de ??? Questions: How can I configure WPML to keep the German homepage as domain.de without the /de/ directory and remove this bug domain.de/de/de/de ?

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there. Please make sure that inside WPML > Languages, you don't have this option active: use a directory for the default language. Normally, the default language should exist on the main domain, not under a subdirectory. Please let me know how things go. Mihai

judithR-10	Hi, thanks for your answer! I have noticed there are many internal absolute links. Is there any need to change them to relative links? I'm just wondering how internal links are transferred to the /en/..directory. Thanks, Judith

judithR-10	I want to avoid any conflicts and prepare everything before starting wpml. Is there a checklist available? This would be nice to have.

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there, Judith. We don't have a list for starting with WPML but we do have a "Getting Started guide" to help you with the WPML setup: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/ The internal links are managed by WPML so when you switch the flag in the top black bar in the backend area and edit a page's content for example, you will affect the content for that specific language.
