Problem: You are developing a site and wish to change the language code for Swedish from 'sv' to 'se' to align with Sweden’s official country code and your URL structure preferences. However, WPML does not allow editing the language code once it has been set. Solution: We recommend creating a custom language. You can do this by navigating to WPML > Languages > Site languages and clicking "Edit languages". For a detailed guide, visit Editing WPML's Languages Table. After creating the custom language, set the source language for each post or page directly in the WordPress Editor, inside the right sidebar. You can then connect those posts or pages with existing versions in other languages. For more information on linking translated pages, visit How to Link Already Translated Pages.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it’s outdated or not applicable to your case. 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 this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.
