Delete Wix Multilingual and re-add it. This allows you to start from the beginning and choose a new main language. We recommend duplicating your site before deleting Wix Multilingual. This will help you later on when you re-add Wix Multilingual. You can refer to the duplicate for your previous translations and site design/layout.

You can enable the Auto-switch language toggle, and automatically redirect visitors to the language version of your site that matches their browser's language.
