I am trying to automatically create the translations for other languages when creating a new post. For example, when I create a new page I'd like WPML to automatically create the translations in the other languages (as duplicates). I don't really care how they are created, it's important to me that they are created and available to manipulate programatically. In other words, I'd like to have a specific post ID for _every_ language after creating a new post.
If I remember correctly, this is or used to be an option? If it's not an option, is it easy to implement through a filter of some kind?
As I can see, this did not work.
Please remove then the added code, if you did not already do so.
I must involve the 2nd Tier support into this, please could you provide me access to your WP Admin and FTP, in case we need to look closer at your installation.
==> Please also confirm to have a full backup of your website and database at your disposal.
Sarah, from the 2nd Tier support, will contact you very soon and try to solve the issue in the best possible manner.
I have contacted her and she informed me that the code snippet provided in the other thread is outdated.
She will have to look into your specific installation and then create a new solution.
Please would it be possible for you to provide us access to your installation?
We would need access to the WP Admin Interface and the FTP Account.

It would be nice if you could clarify for me whether you create posts/pages via code or from within the WordPress admin.
Until I hear from you I will assume that you are creating posts/pages via code using wp_insert_post() so I will go ahead based on this to test some code locally.
I have some code for you here. I tested it and it appears to work fine with me. It would be nice to get your feedback when you can on whether it works for you too.
add_action( 'save_post', 'wpml_duplicate_on_publish');
function wpml_duplicate_on_publish( $post_id ) {
global $sitepress, $iclTranslationManagement;
// don't save for autosave
if ( defined( 'DOING_AUTOSAVE' ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
return $post_id;
}
// dont save for revisions
if ( isset( $post->post_type ) && $post->post_type == 'revision' ) {
return $post_id;
}
// we need this to avoid recursion see add_action at the end
remove_action('save_post', 'wpml_duplicate_on_publish');
// make duplicates if the post being saved does not have any already or is not a duplicate of another
$has_duplicates = $iclTranslationManagement->get_duplicates( $post_id );
$is_duplicate = get_post_meta($post_id, '_icl_lang_duplicate_of', true);
if ( !$is_duplicate && !$has_duplicates) {
icl_makes_duplicates( $post_id );
}
// must hook again - see remove_action further up
add_action('save_post', 'wpml_duplicate_on_publish');
}
