I duplicate posts to second language but slugs keep with the title of the main language and I can't even edit them manually.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

1) The slugs are the same as the default language because the posts are duplicated and not translated.

Please try the following steps:

1- Edit the post in secondary languages
2- Click "Translate Independently"
3- Change the slug
4- Update the post

Please check our manual translation guide. (https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/)

2) It's unrelated to the issue, but according to your Debug.info, the WP memory limit needs to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress uses 40Mb as default. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/)

You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Best regards,
Osama
