This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where you've set Hebrew as the default language in WPML, but the backend still shows English, this might be due to the User profile language settings not being updated.
Solution:
We recommend taking a site backup first. Then, navigate to Users>>Profile and set Hebrew as the language for the Language field. After this, clear all types of caches to see if the changes are reflected in the backend. It's important to note that the frontend language (default language of the site) and dashboard language settings are different. For more details, please refer to our documentation on setting the WordPress administration language: Setting the WordPress Administration Language.
If this solution does not apply because it's outdated or not relevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
