benW-2	Tell us what you are trying to do? I have a custom post type called "team" I can translate from ENG to ARABIC. However the ARABIC version is using the team TITLE as the Slug and I cannot edit it. I want the slug to be in ENGLISH I want it to stay same as english original eg hidden link to hidden link but instead it is showing as hidden link how can i ensure all URLS are in english and not arabic? password for test site above is "protect"

You can modify the translated pages directly and change the slugs. You are seeing a lot of encoded characters because browsers don't see the special characters as we do, so it only shows it correctly once you send the URL. However, the slug is showing like that because it was translated into arabic characters. I'm not sure how you're translated a page but you can check this guide to understand how the slugs work and how they can be setup to be translated: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-page-slugs/#sending-post-or-page-slugs-to-translators Regards.
