[Resolved] Permalink nieuws on the english site news
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client wants to change the URL slug from 'nieuws' to 'news' in the English version of their site. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you first check if the Slug Translation option is enabled in WPML. You can do this by navigating to WPML > Settings > Slug Translation. For more details, visit Translating URL slugs in WPML.
Next, go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation to translate the slug for your post categories. If 'nieuws' is used as a category, ensure to translate it at the same location. For a step-by-step guide on translating taxonomy terms, visit Translating Taxonomy Terms.
Please also check your WordPress permalink settings. If you are using a custom structure like '/nieuws/%postname%', note that this format is not translatable with WPML. We suggest switching to the 'Post name' structure instead.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket. Additionally, check related known issues at WPML Known Issues, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, please contact us at WPML Support Forum.

Hi Andreas,
The option slug translation is enabled.
You say:
go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation and translate the slug for your post category.
But I can't find that slug there.
Where to find this?
Thanks.
I would like to offer to have a closer look at the problem and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate this issue further.
You can find the required fields below the comment section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, which means only you and I can see and access it.
IMPORTANT
Please be sure to make a backup copy of the website and database before allowing us access.
If you can't see the wp-admin / FTP fields, your post and website credentials are set as PUBLIC. DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

The provided username seems not to exist on the site. Please verify the provided information and leave me a message on this ticket once access to the site is granted.
Further, please revise the permalink settings of WordPress.
If you use a custom structure like /nieuws/%postname% kindly note that this is not translatable with WPML. I suggest in this case you use the "Post name" structure.
This is a backend string from WordPress and there is no way to translate the string "/nieuws/" as we can not register this custom permalink string on WPML > String Translation.
