Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there, Annika. Sorry but I don't see any question in the title or description of the ticket. No worries. Usually, it is best to set the languages at the very beginning, but as long as you first create a full website backup, before changing the default language, you can avoid any issues that might appear and you can always contact us if you need help along the way. There should be no issues when you change it. Please take a look here, too: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/default-language-impact/#post-13005277 Do not hesitate to open a new ticket whenever you encounter an issue or you need help with WPML. We are always happy to help. Mihai
