This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're working on a site and need to switch the coding of translated material from French Canadian to Metropolitan French, you might be facing some challenges.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps to move your translations:
1. Navigate to WPML → Translation Management.
2. Use the filters to display content in French Canadian (fr-ca).
3. Select all the pages or posts you want to move.
4. Click "Duplicate" and choose French (fr) as the target language.
5. After duplication, go to each page, switch to French (fr), and click "Translate Independently" to unlink it from the original.
6. Once confirmed, delete the fr-ca versions of the content.
