Hello, when I created the pages I translated them using the advanced translator.
After the translation, the URL addresses were also translated and it looks like this in the address bar.
hidden link
But when I copy this URL it looks like this and when shared it looks like a spam url.
hidden link
To get rid of this, I changed Translated documents options to "Translate".
For newly created pages, this feature works and I can specify the URL address as I want.
My problem now is; Is there any way to disable URL encoding for old translated pages in bulk, for example, can I configure them all to appear as serkalaw.com/ru/contant.
Welcome to the WPML support forum. It's totally normal for encoded URLs to look like the url you shared, there is nothing spammy about it.
Then it's the browser you're using that will interpret/convert those encoded URLs into Cyrillic Alphabet.
However, you have two options to avoid this in "WPML > Settings > Translated documents options":
- Translate: which is the one you switched to
- Copy: to keep the same URL than the original if the language use encoded URLs
That will apply to all new translations created. For old translations, you will need to resent them to translation and adjust those URLs.
- Go to "WPML > Translation Management"
- Select your content and resend it to translation (only for the encoded language)
PS: don't worry, we use "translation memory" so you won't have to retranslate the entire page. The slug field will be available in our editor and you can correct/translate it with latin letters to avoid encoding.
