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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with two articles on their website where both are set to English in WPML, causing the German article not to display correctly when switching languages using the WPML language switcher.
Solution:
We recommend manually changing the language settings for the German article in WPML's post editor. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Navigate to the post editor for the German article.
2. Locate the WPML language settings within the editor.
3. Change the language from English to German and save the changes.
This should ensure that the German article appears correctly when using the language switcher.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to update the language settings for two articles on my website using WPML. We have an English article and a German article, but both were mistakenly set to English in WPML. I need help to ensure the English article remains in English and the German article appears correctly when switching languages through the WPML language switcher. Here are the links to the articles: hidden link (English) and hidden link (German).

Symptoms:
Both articles are set to English in WPML, causing the German article not to appear correctly when using the WPML language switcher.

Questions:
How can I correct the language settings for the German article in WPML?
Why is the German article not appearing correctly when using the WPML language switcher?
