 * My website was in both German and English (The default was German) and all was
   fine until yesterday. Suddenly when I go to my website, only the homepage in 
   in German, and then when I press on any other page, it starts to load as the 
   german, but then adds the “en/” and switches to the English page. I also now 
   cannot select German on any of the other pages, as I could before.
 * Can someone please give me some advice 🙁 My German speaking clients (my main
   market) are complaining that they can’t understand my site.

 * I just learned as well now that my business partner was in the site 2 or 3 days
   ago and he updated the WordPress version. Could tho have done something to cause
   this problem?

 * I didnt reate the site and I am not so familiar, but I just checked the plugins
   and this is what I found that had to do with language:
    WPML Translation Management
   WPML Multilingual CMS

 * I don’t know anything about that plugin unfortunately. When you are logged in
   to the dashboard can you still access the Deutsch and English content? If so,
   and if your website isn’t too large, I recommend copying the content somewhere
   safe and considering changing to another translation plugin – unless WPML has
   support?

 * I am afraid to change it as I am not familiar with WP. Our designer left us int
   he lurch and now I have to try to figure this out on my own. If I mess it up,
   I won’t know how to fix it 🙁
