dieterB-12	Hi Andrey, Yes I have tried to rebuild the links several times but it won't change anything. I have attached some images as a example. Before I duplicated a product and then renamed it in the default language. It's link is: hidden link switching to english you would get this link: hidden link And the other product. Tab Tower Small I editted the permalink in the product to: hidden link (default language) but no change is made in any other language: hidden link

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	Thanks for the clarification. To change the product slug in the second language, you first need to include it in the translation. Here is an outline of the steps: 1. Go to WPML → Settings → Translated documents options and choose "Translate" (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title). 2. Make slight modifications to the original product and save it. 3. Go to the WPML translation editor. Now, the URL is included. 4. Make changes to the slug and complete the translation.
