Background of the issue:
I was trying to manage language settings on our website using WPML. We encountered an issue where Danish language content appeared unexpectedly in the search bar and some job-related text. Our developer found that a value in the wp_options table, specifically the meta_value, had been altered. This change coincided with granting recruiter access to the site about 10 days ago. The developer has resolved the issue by correcting the affected meta values. Here is a link to a page where the issue was visible: hidden link
If you look at the image, you’ll see the word “Sprog”, which is Danish for "Language" — this should have been displayed in English. There were also a few other words that appeared in Danish, but these were corrected once our developer made the necessary changes.
Symptoms:
Danish language content appeared unexpectedly on the website, specifically in the search bar and some job-related text.
Questions:
What could have caused the wp_options table meta_value to change?
Could granting recruiter access have triggered the language conflict?
