Background of the issue:
I am trying to ensure that the frontend and backend of my WordPress site are synchronized, with the language switcher visible and translations properly displayed. I noticed an issue when checking the WP installation under 'Reading', which states: 'Your home page does not exist or its translation is not published in NL, FR.' However, clicking the link takes me to the home page where all translations are present. The issue can be seen at: hidden link.

Symptoms:
The language switcher is missing, translations are not visible, and posts are not synchronized between languages. There is a notice under 'Reading': 'Your home page does not exist or its translation is not published in NL, FR.'

Questions:
Why is there a notice saying the home page or its translation is not published when all translations are present?
How can I ensure the frontend and backend are mirrored without error messages under 'Reading'?
