I want to translate custom structure permalink, I have this url structure:

/kennisbank/%postname%/

But it should be in german: /wissensbasis/%postname%/

How can I fix this?

Hello there,

Welcome to WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this.

Unfortunately, custom strings added on the custom structure permalink are not translatable.

One solution will be to create a custom parent category with the same slug and assign it to the posts, this way with category/post-name permalink the slug will look like same.

Thanks
