This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is transitioning from mqTranslate to WPML and wants to maintain the SEO settings for the Czech version of their website. Specifically, they wish to keep the URL ending with '/cz' instead of the default '/cs' that WPML creates.
Solution:
1. We informed the client that changing the hreflang field for SEO purposes will not alter the language slug in the URL.
2. We advised the client to create a new language with the desired 'cz' slug by following the instructions here: Editing WPML's Languages Table.
3. Next, we instructed the client to duplicate or copy all content from the current Czech language to the new one, as detailed here: Displaying Untranslated Content on Pages in Secondary Languages.
4. We clarified that the name of the new custom language should be different from 'Czech' and that the translation field on the right should contain the desired display name for the language switcher.
If this solution does not seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket in the WPML support forum.
