davidS-113	Background of the issue: I am trying to make my German WooCommerce store multilingual by adding English and translate permalinks for product taxonomies. Symptoms: The default language of all permalinks is set to English instead of appearing in the original language when I go to settings > permalinks. Questions: How can I ensure permalinks appear in the original language? Why is the default language of permalinks set to English?

Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Default language for String Translation is English (as most of the plugins/themes have English strings). Did you try changing the language of these permalinks like this?
