Kresimir	Background of the issue: I am trying to translate a custom post type (CPT) 'author' into Croatian using WPML with the 'Translatable (use translation if available or fallback to default language)' option. The original slug is 'author', and I'm translating it to 'autor'. The CPT is registered with a plugin, and here is the code for that: hidden link. I am using WPML plugins and the Twenty Twenty-One theme with no modifications. I have another ticket open which is not related to this: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translate-cpt-slug/. The issue can be seen here: hidden link Symptoms: The permalink for the Croatian version of the post is 'hidden link' instead of 'hidden link'. The word 'author' is not translated to 'autor', although the language switcher in the footer uses the correct link. Questions: Why is the slug 'author' not translating to 'autor' in the permalink? How can I ensure the translated slug appears correctly in the permalink?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thanks for your patience. We have a solution and this is how it works now hidden link . You'll notice that the permalink for the Croatian version of the post is now using hidden link To fix this, navigate to wpml-string-translation/classes/slug-translation/class-wpml-slug-translation.php line 129 add the following code. if( $this->sitepress->is_display_as_translated_post_type( $post->post_type ) ) { $ld->language_code = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null ); } You can check it out here hidden link . Let me know how it goes.

Kresimir	Hey Kor. Thank you for the fix. I can confirm it's working. Do you know when will the change go in to WPML String Translation? I'm asking just so we know so if the next version doesn't have the fix it that we add it back in after we update the plugin.
