Hi--probably a simple newbie question. I'm adding Chinese language to wi-sun.org. We already have Japanese. We've translated all our pages and menus manually. All the new pages are published and menus created. We have configured Chinese in WPML > Languages > Site Languages. We have Chinese showing in our language picker. But when I click Chinese in the language picker, I'm seeing English pages (our default language) and not Chinese. What am I missing?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Please make sure that the Chinese translations are complete and published.

If the translations are complete and published, kindly add a footer language switcher to check if you will face the same issue. In order to add a footer switcher, please go to WPML-> Languages-> Footer language switcher, and enable it.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. I checked your site, and the Chinese pages work correctly when you visit them. (hidden link)

Also, switching the language on a translated page, for example, the About page. (hidden link)

The switcher is not working on the home page because it's not translated. Please check it after completing its translation.

Best regards,
Osama

Thanks for your fast verification, Osama. I've reached out to the translator to get the home page content. This did turn out to be a simple newbie question!
