Background of the issue:
I am trying to maintain a German default language for my site, which is managed by WPML. After a recent update, I noticed that user profiles, admin emails, and other parts of the website, such as product detail and checkout, switched to English. The site language in Settings > General is set to English and cannot be changed because it is managed by WPML. However, in WPML > Languages, German is set as the default language. Here is a link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
Symptoms:
The site language is unexpectedly set to English, affecting user profiles, admin emails, product details, and checkout, despite German being set as the default language in WPML.
Questions:
Why is the site language set to English despite German being the default in WPML?
How can I ensure that the site language remains German for all users and emails?
