 * I’m having trouble with default language.
 * On my site I have three languages:
    estonian(which I set to default in settings)
   english russian
 * In settings I disabled “Detect browser language”.
 * I have static home page which I choose estonian “about us” page. But whenever
   I go to the site it always shows english variation instead of a default estonian
   one. Only when I click to estonian it remembers settings but only until I clear
   cookies.
 * How do I solve this problem? I want estonian as a default language for first 
   visit.

 * I confirm that currently English is your default language. Could you check if
   it appears as this in Settings->Languages->settings?

 * No, as I said default language is set to estonian.
 * And even if I try to change it to russian it’s no use, still shows english as
   default.

 * Do you mean that the defaut language is correctly saved on admin side?
 * Could you try to de-activate all your plugins except Polylang, switch your theme
   to Twenty twelve and check if the problem persists?
