Background of the issue:
I want different language settings to be shown on blogs. The idea is that in the blogposts, different languages will be displayed. And in the normal page only the two main languages.

Symptoms:
None

Questions:
Is it possible with WPML to display different languages in blogposts while keeping only two main languages on normal pages?

Hi there.

We have a function inside WPML > Languages > where you can set up an area that will show up on every blog post, letting people know that it is also available in other languages (if there are any existing published translations in the backend for that specific post, of course).

The WPML language switcher will always show only the languages into which the current page is translated. If the current page is not translated into any other languages, even if you have set up extra languages in the backend, those will not show on the front-end because it would confuse people, and WPML wouldn't be able to send them to any helpful area.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.
