Thanks, Bobby.
So you mean if we send corrupted articles to ATE for retranslation, things get fixed?
The problem is that we have at least 25 pages with this corruption issue.
Is this the only way to match the articles? We already have the translation completed; we just need to fix things and have the correct content with the correct URLs.
What do you suggest? Use SQL queries on the database? Or use a tool like WP All Import/Export? Delete all the corrupt entries from the CMS and reimport them correctly?

Thank you very much

Would you mind sharing with me 2 more articles out of the 25?

I'd like to verify something before i can 100% confirm, however, what I noticed was that there are multiple of the same articles /1 , /-2, /-3/ for example and if one of those is not translated WP tries to redirect to it causing the issue I shared.

After translating however, i no longer saw 3 extra items so I want to make sure that this is indeed what is happening because there might be a bigger issue here in the database.

Thank you for the extension.

The manual articles are switched to use manual translation 100% now, is this expected? As mentioned earlier switching them to ATE and sending all for translation it does resolve the issue.

This page hidden link

is missing the EN translation if possible, please add it as I am not sure I should turn on the automatic translation for it.
