This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to add a Russian translation to their website, which currently has Finnish and English translations on separate domains (nordtimber.fi and nordtimber.ee respectively). The client wishes to place the Russian translation in a subdirectory (nordtimber.ee/ru) while keeping the other languages on their separate domains.
Solution:
We explained that WPML currently supports only one Language URL format at a time. Therefore, it is not possible to have a mix of different URL formats, such as domains for some languages and a subdirectory for another, within the same website. If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend considering the use of either domains or subdirectories for all languages to maintain consistency.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If you encounter difficulties or this solution does not fit your needs, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us through the WPML support forum.

I have a website nordtimber.ee and it has finnish and english translations at the moment.

Both translations are on different domains finnish being on nordtimber.fi and english being on nordtimber.ee.

Now I want to add russian translation but I do not a have domain. I want to put it in subdirectory like nordtimber.ee/ru and at the same time keep other languages on different domains as they are.

I can not find a way to do this. I know where to change the URL format but trying these options they only work for all the languages.

Hi there.

I understand what you mean.

At the moment WPML can only support one Language URL format at a time and not a mix of two or three.
