We have installed WPML and have less than 6 ACF Fields.
We have translations set in our site.
English US is our default language.

However, when we try to update a post in English US (default language), the post suddenly indicates that the original post is UAE-Arabic (AR-AE). How is this possible when we don't have that set as a default language?

We are trying to follow WPML documentation.
The live site can be found here.

Hello,

the default language of post/page can be different from the default language of the website. Depends on which language was it originally created.

You can change the default language of the post manually by following the next guide:

- https://wpml.org/forums/topic/changing-the-default-language-of-a-page/#post-10770871

but please make sure to create a backup before as you might need to re-translate the page if you are using WPML editor for translation, since UAE>EN is not the same as EN>UAE.

Hope this helps, let me know if any other questions.

Regadrs,
Drazen
