robertP-84	Background of the issue: I have 14 fully completed standalone websites, each in a different language. I want to use WPML to semi-automatically manage the hreflang linking, but I need to connect the existing pages manually. I don't need any translations or duplication on my sites, just linking the already existing language versions together. Each language version contains approximately 1000 products. Symptoms: I'm unsure how to achieve manual linking of existing language versions using WPML. Questions: How can I manually connect existing pages in different languages using WPML without creating translations or duplications?

Carlos Rojas Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for contacting us If the content in the original and translated languages are on the same site, then you can link them by following the steps described in this FAQ: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-link-already-translated-pages/ If the sites are different WordPress installations/sites, then you can't use WPML. WPML plugins only work if the content is on the same site. Regards, Carlos
