Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where after duplicating a blog post in another language and setting it to translate independently, the content gets overwritten with the original language upon publishing.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps:
1. After saving the translated post as a draft, do not use the pencil icon to switch back to the original content.
2. Instead, go to the Dashboard and open the list of Posts.
3. Find the original post and publish it either by opening it in the WordPress Editor or by using the quick edit options on the posts list.
This workflow should prevent WPML from overwriting the translated content with the original language.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it is outdated, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
