This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You want to add a Malaysian language with hreflang /my/ instead of /ms/ on your site, but you encounter an error message stating 'The hreflang already exists'. You also need to check if there is content from the default Malay language.
Solution:
1. Ensure you have a backup of your site for safety reasons.
2. Update WPML to the latest version, WPML 4.8.1, which might resolve the issue. You can update it from the Plugins >> Add New page, click the Commercial tab, and then click the “Check for updates” button. For more details, see the screenshot here.
3. If the problem persists, consider following the suggestions from this thread.
To check for content in Malay or any other language:
1. Navigate to WPML >> Languages.
2. Click on the Add / Remove Languages button.
3. Temporarily deactivate the language. If content exists in that language, it will still appear under the “Site Languages” section.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.
