Problem: You want to reset WPML because you had both 'en' and 'en-gb' languages installed, and you want to switch back to just 'en'. However, when you reset WPML on the troubleshooting screen, all the products appear duplicated.
Solution: When you deactivate WPML or reset it directly, WPML does not delete the translated content. This results in the content appearing as regular posts without language information, which causes the duplication. To properly reset WPML, you should first remove the languages and their content. We recommend following the steps in this guide: Deleting Languages and Plugin Data by Doing a WPML Reset on Your Site.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please open a new support ticket.
