Problem: You are experiencing an issue where the logo link on your multilingual WordPress website redirects correctly in the primary language but redirects to the blog page instead of the translated homepage in the secondary language. Solution: We found that the problem was due to a translated string (
admin_texts_show_on_front
) that should not have been translated. To resolve this, you should delete the translation of this string. After doing so, the homepage should open correctly in the secondary language.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues and verifying that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

Problem: The client is setting up a multilingual website with a WordPress theme where the default string language is English. They plan to have Swedish as the primary language and English and Arabic as additional languages. The client is inquiring about the correct workflow for translating content and strings. Solution: We recommend creating content in English and then translating it into Swedish, English, and Arabic. Since most WordPress themes are initially written in English, this is the standard approach. WPML allows you to create content in any language and translate it into other languages as needed. For more information on how to use WPML for translating your content, please visit our Getting Started Guide.
