Tell us what you are trying to do? Translate pages with the help of a translation service (LAT multilingual) We have first sent our pages to transat as ''test'' page using ''Aabbaa'' characters. We have then sent our pages for a réal translation. Pages are translated fine except that slugs still show ''AAbbaa''.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?
For example, the following page is sent to translate:
About us (slug: about), the translated page is A propos de nous (slug: AAbbaa)

In WPML settings > Translated documents options, is set at: Auto-generate

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

Good afternoon. When you have set the Page URL to Auto-generate from title (default), then after generating the post/page title the first time, it will not change even if the page title is updated in the future. This means that it will affect the first time you create the post/page.

If you want more control, you could change it to the second option, Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title). This will allow you to change the slug from the Advanced Translation Editor.

I hope that this information has been helpful. Please let me know how it goes.

Best regards,
Faisal
