[Resolved] I need help change our default language only in frontend.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

When you change default language in WPML, it is changed on both ends (normally). However, if you want to keep the WP Admin in another language, please see https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/setting-the-wordpress-administration-language/ for more details.

Regards.

WPML only translates content which is presented on the frontend.

For the backend, it depends on the language you've selected in your profile. Please check the guide I shared with you previously.

You can also try the following:

- Go to Users > Profile
- Language: Set your preferred language
- Disable option "Set admin language as editing language"

Can you please explain more about it along with some screenshots or a screen-recording for better understanding?

Please try a 3rd party service (i.e. Dropbox, Google Drive, hidden link">WeTransfer or etc) to share the video. Because here you can only attach images or screenshots.

You can upload any 3rd party service as mentioned in my previous message and then share the link in your next reply in this ticket. You don't need any direct email.

Thank you for the video, I tried my best to understand your queries. Please consider followings:

FYI: I've recorded 2 videos to demonstrate the followings, please download from hidden link;

1) Admin Interface Language:
If you set the admin interface language from your logged in user profile properly, it should display WP Admin in that language. Please see https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/setting-the-wordpress-administration-language/ or check the video "Recording - Changing Interface Language.webm" for an understanding.

However, if this isn't working correctly, then probably there's some issue which we can check further.

2) Unwanted Strings:
Unfortunately there's no way of determining that which string is used on frontend and which is for backend only. However, with WPML -> String Translation, you can remove the unwanted or untranslated strings.

Please see https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#how-to-delete-a-string or watch video "Recording - Removing and Searching Strings.webm" for an understanding.

3) Translating particular strings out of thousands available in the list:
In WPML -> String Translation, you can search for specific strings. You can search in "All domains" or in particular domain (i.e. woocommerce as you did). You can also filter the search for already translated or untranslated ones.

Please see https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#find-and-translate-strings-wpml or watch "Recording - Removing and Searching Strings.webm" for an understanding.

I hope this clarifies what you're looking for. For the #1, it may be an issue but only if you confirm about it, by following the video or the guide.

For #2 and #3, these are matter of understanding or how things work with WPML and String Translation.

Please let me know and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter(s).

P.S.: I'll be off for the weekend and 'll be able to attend on Monday.

Thank you for the updates and glad the original issue was fixed.

For the other question/issue, I recommend opening a separate ticket/chat because as per forum policy we can only handle one issue per ticket/chat. So you can get more to the point help, without mixing up several issues in one long ticket.

I'll also recommend checking https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/ for the strings which are not found in ST.

However, for any issue other than originally reported in this ticket, please feel free to report separately (as requested above).
