Carlos Rojas WPML Supporter since 03/2017 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi again, Our 2nd-tier specialists found that the cause of the issue is some incorrect entries in the database. Do you authorize our 2nd-tier specialists to install a database manager plugin to fix the problem?

Carlos Rojas WPML Supporter since 03/2017 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	No, you can automatically translate the content. The alternative is to clone in bulk as described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#duplicating-content
