Tell us what you are trying to do?
- Figuring out why some pages cannot display the Language Switcher. As the images shown, Portfolio page ok but the detail page cannot display.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
- Yes, I follow the link below to duplicate the pages that don't need to be translated.
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#duplicating-content

Is there a similar example that we can see?
- Portfolio

Hello Nicholas,
You have set the Portfolio post type as Not Translatable, which is why the language switcher was not appearing on the single portfolio page. If you do not wish to translate any post types, but still want to display the original content in a secondary language, you can change the Post Type Translation to Translatable (use translation if available or fallback to default language) from WPML > Settings.

I hope this information is useful. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
Faisal

Hi Faisal, thank you for your explanation, the issue is solved!

Based on your explanation, I found a similar issue, is there a way to set Chinese date format for CPT or how to keep the English date format?
