Extra suffix being added to translated pages URLS

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client's website is set up with English pages and Spanish translations under the '/es/' URL prefix. However, WPML is adding an extra language code suffix to the URLs of taxonomy archive pages, resulting in URLs like 'https://uncorkmexico.com/es/tienda/varietal/nebbiolo-es/' instead of the expected 'https://uncorkmexico.com/es/tienda/varietal/nebbiolo/'.

Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Taxonomy Translation.
2. Use the dropdown menu to select the Taxonomy that contains the Category.
3. Locate and edit the Spanish translation of the "Nebbiolo" taxonomy.
4. In the editing popup, you will find a field labeled 'slug'. Remove any extra parts from the slug and save your changes.

vanusap	My website is uncorkmexico.com (english pages), and set up for the URLs to be uncorkmexico.com/es/ for the translated Spanish pages. However, WPML is adding an extra suffix at the end of the the URLs or taxonomy archive pages, so look like this: English: hidden link Spanish: hidden link If you noticed, it adds the correct suffix after the main URL, and then an extra -es at the end of the URL. I attached below the screenshot of my WPML language settings for reference. Can you help me fix it?

Prosenjit Barman Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, Thanks for contacting WPML Support. I understand what you're looking for. According to standard WordPress guidelines, it's essential to use unique slugs throughout the site. To maintain the uniqueness of slugs for pages, posts, and taxonomies in different languages, WPML automatically adds the language code at the end of each slug. This approach is adopted to preserve the uniqueness of slugs, as having identical slugs across different languages can often result in unexpected issues. If you want to remove the language code from the Slug, please try the following. - Navigate to WPML > Taxonomy Translation. - Use the dropdown menu to select the Taxonomy that contains the Category. - Locate and edit the Spanish translation of the "Nebbiolo" taxonomy. In the editing popup, you will find a field labeled 'slug.' Please remove any extra parts from the slug and save your changes. For a clearer understanding, refer to this screenshot: hidden link Please let me know if that helps or if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to help. Best regards, Prosenjit
