Chainalysis	Hi Mateus, I'm reaching out for help with phantom pages (ophan page content?) that WPML seems to have created, maybe. Sometimes translated pages appear in our sitemap and wp_posts table but the page URLs generate 404 errors -- they aren't fully formed. Can you help us to figure out why this happens and whether there's anything that we can do to prevent it?

According to the chat log, I see the page with slug "home-page-2" is deleted, then I edit the home page in English language > Update the translation in Korean language again. And switch the language to Korean with the language switcher at the topbar menu, I see the slug is "home-page" now, screenshot hidden link Look forward to your reply. Thanks
