Thank you for contacting WPML support.

If you're inquiring about automatic translation, please navigate to WPML → Settings → Post Types Translation and disable automatic translation for the 'Post' post type.

If this isn't what you were asking about, could you please provide more details? Sometimes, clear screenshots can help illustrate your issue more effectively than words alone. If you’d like, you can use the "upload an image" option below the comment area.
