Hello there,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Changing the default language will invalidate existing translations. We can’t keep them because the translations are directional and you’ll also need to change ALL your content directly in the new language.
The default language is the language your content was written in.
If you want another language to be the first language, then simply enable:
- Use TranslatePress -> Settings -> Subdirectory for default language -> Yes
- Reorder the languages
Kind Regards,

OK, that’s what I was afraid of 🙁 Is there a way to simply change the order so that one language (which is not currently the default) appears first for visitors?
For example, we have English and German; English is currently set as the default, but we want German to be the first language visitors see when they enter the site. Is it possible to do that?
Hello there,
Yes, you can do this as I mentioned above.
If you want another language to be the first language, then simply enable:
- Use TranslatePress -> Settings -> Subdirectory for default language -> Yes
- Reorder the languages
If there’s anything else, please let me know!
Kind Regards,
