What is Default Language?

The source language your content is authored in — the canonical text every translation derives from.

In more depth

Keep the source clean and unambiguous; every source typo multiplies across all languages.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Default Language helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
