marioB-40	Tell us what you are trying to do? Im trying to figure out how to delete translated pages and translated menus without deleting the main parent item. I tried to delete a German translated menu and it deleted my original English version as well. I dont want this happening to my pages as well if I try to delete one. Can you help explain how to do this? Is there any documentation that you are following? Is this tutorial correct? https://wpml.org/forums/topic/deleting-the-translation-of-post-or-page/ Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? hidden link

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, 1. You can delete translations and it won't delete the original pages. If you want to do the opposite and delete the original without deleting the translation, in that case please check in "WPML > Settings > Posts and pages synchronization" and make sure that the two following options are NOT checked: - When deleting a post, delete translations as well - When deleting a taxonomy (category, tag or custom), delete translations as well Also note that in "WPML > Languages > Site Languages" you can "Remove a language" from your site. This will remove all content from that particular language (not only pages and post but also taxonomies and menus...) 2. Regarding menus I made a quick video as I think it will be easier to explain things: hidden link Please let me know if you need further assistance. Nico
