[Closed] Split: Language directory setup

Hello Jannis,

I understand your requirement. Please note that with WPML, there's no need to create physical directories for different language versions of your site. WPML automatically creates virtual directories for all languages, including the default language. These directories are not actual folders on your server but are virtual paths that appear in the URLs to denote different language versions. For more information on how this works, please refer to the guide provided.

- https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/

You simply need to send the pages or posts for translation, and once they are translated, the language switcher will display the respective language flag. By clicking on that flag, users will be directed to the translated version of the page or post. To understand the process of translating pages/post, please check this documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/#translating-pages-posts-and-custom-post-types

So, You don't need to create any directories. WPML will automatically handle this and configure the pages accordingly. I hope this process will become clearer after you review the documentation.

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, please let me know. I'm here to help!

Best regards,
Prosenjit
