configurate wpml plugin

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wanted their website, which is configured in English, to automatically display in French when visitors arrive. Additionally, they encountered an issue where the language switcher was not visible on the room page, and they were interested in having a different presentation of the language switcher, such as a list with flags.
Solution:
We addressed the first issue by explaining that the default language set in WPML is the one that appears when the site loads. To change the default language, we provided a link to the relevant documentation: Changing the default language.
Furthermore, we suggested using the option to redirect users to their browser language, which would automatically direct them to the French version of the site if their browser is set to French. This can be set up following the instructions here: Automatic redirect based on browser language.
For the other issues regarding the language switcher visibility and presentation, we created separate tickets for the client to follow up on:

matheoM	First, my website is configured in english but I would like to come and have the translation automatically put on "french" when we come on the website. Secondly, I have updated it on my header but I can't see it when I go on the room page, there is like he disappears so there is a problem to have a full translation, there is like we have a conflict. Here on the home page : hidden link and here on the room page : hidden link Then do you know if I can have a different presentation with for example a list with the flag or something like that ?

Mihai Apetrei WPML Supporter since 03/2018 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. Per our Support Policy, we can handle only one topic per ticket. Continuing with one topic per ticket helps not only supporters to focus on one issue at once but also enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster. So let's tackle point number 1 in this ticket. I created a new ticket for you for the other two requests: - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-cant-see-language-switchers-on-the-other-page/ - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-how-can-i-have-a-different-language-switcher-layout/ You will be notified via email when there's an answer on that one as well. Regarding the first question, the language that you selected as the "default" language in WPML will be the one that shows up first when you load the site. You can change the default language as explained here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/changing-default-language-5/ There is also this option where you can redirect users to the browser language (if they have their browser set to French for example, on their first visit, they will be sent automatically to the French version of the site): https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/ I hope that you will find this information helpful. 🙂 Mihai Apetrei
