Hello

I made my website (standard Dutch) in multilanguage (English too).
I duplicated all the articles in Dutch (which I styled in Themler Editor) into the English language.
But whenever I edit any article I made which has the English language I get a 404-error. The Dutch articles I still can edit. But somehow the English ones not.

How is this possible?
Yes, the language switcher module is assigned to the position 'language' and I followed every steps I had to do to make my site multilingual.

Okay, I've figured it out.
You need to go to language and make the language default of which you wan't to edit its articles.
So if you want to edit your Dutch articles go to language and make Dutch the default language.
Want to edit English articles then? You got an error, just make your default language English and so on.

I think it's a bug you can solve? Or at least mention it at your multilanguage support article. It took me hours to solve.

Hi,

We've answered you in your private topic.
In general, you don't need to change the default language to edit the articles. You can open the articles by right click on the link to this article (a direct link, link from blog page or by menu item link).

Thank you,
Olivia
