This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed guidance on how to translate a post after it is published and requested information about the 'Duplicate' option.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this, we recommend clicking on the "plus" icon to translate the page or post. For more details, you can visit Translating with the Plus Icons.

Regarding the 'Duplicate' option, it allows you to display the original content only for specific posts rather than the entire post type. By choosing to duplicate the content, you link the original content to its translated version, creating a duplicate in the secondary language. Whenever the original content is updated, the duplicate will automatically be updated as well. For further information, check out Duplicating Content.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.

Sometimes, you may want to display the original content only for specific posts rather than the entire post type. In these cases, you can choose to duplicate the content. This action links the original content to its translated version, creating a duplicate in the secondary language.

Whenever the original content is updated, the duplicate will automatically be updated as well.
