We have 4 languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean). English is the main default language.
I am trying to:
Make all translated pages, posts, woocommerce products etc use the original English slug/url. So for example:
hidden link (English) hidden link (Chinese) hidden link (Japanese) hidden link (Korean)
I expected to happen:
When creating a translation of an original document, I expect the slug to automatically use the original English slug (Copy / synchronise).
Instead, what happens is:
The slug of the translation document is automatically generated from the title. Also it appears in the translation editor if using the advanced translation editor, which I DON'T want otherwise translators will translate it.
The issue appears to be the same as the issue described here, although I have already marked the translation document URLs as encoded:
This is still on our 2nd tier supporter queue, so I don't have any update of it yet, I have reproduced the issue on a fresh install so you can remove the staging site.
I will respond to you as soon as I will have a further update.
Any update on this yet? I keep getting emails saying that because I am not replying this topic will be closed? Can you acknowledge this is a bug and will be fixed in next version?
Our 2nd tier is debugging this issue right now, I will update you as soon as I will have the further update.
Regarding the ticket closed, since the ticket is marked as "Escalated to 2nd tier" the ticket will not be closed before we provide any feedback on the issue, so you can leave it as it is.
I just received feedback and our 2nd tiers confirm that it's only possible to use this feature when using translation editors for pages/posts and it's normal.
Regarding the WooCommerce Product slug, the slug translation is always included in the editor so this setting will not be applied to it.
Being so, if you are using manual editors or using the WooCommerce Products you will need to manually translate those URLs.
