Hi,

 

I have set Hebrew as my default language for my main market,

As for my second market (international) I want to set it for English, but it seems I cant.

 

In Markets->International->Languages and Domains->manage domains

I can either use primary market configuration which is Hebrew,

Use a separate domain (which I don't want to), or use subfolders, which also uses Hebrew (adds /he- in in the url).

 

What can I do?

Hi Lalafshasha,

To achieve your goal of setting English as the default language for your international market while keeping Hebrew for your main market, you can use the subfolder option. Here’s what to do:

  1. Enable Subfolders: Configure your International market to use subfolders.configure a separate domain for the international market.
    For example, add the suffix /en after /he.

  2. Set the Default Language:

    Once configured, you can set English as the default language for the international market.

    Please ensure that English is published. Unpublished languages cannot be set as default.
