Problem:
My problem now is that I want to add en-GB as a language. When I try to add English with a code of 'uk' I get an error that 'The Language code already exists.'. I assume this is because the database is pre-populated with Ukraine as a language. This is not unreasonable, but people in the UK often refer to the country as UK not GB, and even if I could change my folder for UK English to be GB it is pre-existing as UK, so this would cost me in SEO which I cannot accept.
Solution:
Deleting a language from WPML is not a good idea.
Instead, you can go to WPML → Languages → Site Languages, press the Add / Remove languages, add the Ukraininan language, then press the Edit Languages link. This way you'll be able to "transform" Ukrainian into UK English.

Problem:
When moving between months, the url now looks like this:
domain.com/(/?:events)/(/?:month)/2020-05/ when it should look like domain.com/events/month/2020-05/
Solution:
Events Calendar takes the translation of months from WordPress language files. If you have those translation downloaded, month and day strings will be loaded from those files. Otherwise, you can delete language files and translate months using WPML.
