Background of the issue:
I'm trying to translate blog posts from English to Tamil using WPML. However, WPML automatically generates Tamil slugs using special characters (Tamil script), and all translated URLs result in HTTP 403 errors (access denied). This happens with every article translated into Tamil. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
I get a 403 Forbidden error on every Tamil-translated article. The server blocks the URL, likely because of the non-Latin characters in the slug.

Questions:
Can WPML use the original English slugs for Tamil translations?
Can automatic slug generation in Tamil script be disabled?
