Dear Mr. Long Nguyen,

I request a new split ticket [I ask here, as I think I can best communicate with you; my English might not always be perfect = but I have a feeling [you understand my questions and the logic or unlogic behind my questions].

One month ago, I made changes to some pages and made some new, unique overview pages.

In certain of these page, the URL SLUG was not translated from the UK Default Page. The strange thing [but not real important, in for example Dutch ok, in Spanish not].

Some examples:

== Begin Examples

DE = SubCats met problemen

Touren In Limon | Tourguide Costa Rica (tourguide-costarica.com)
hidden link = TEST PAGING HOE OP TE LOSSEN = overview met links naar = Limon Tours
hidden link = ???

NL = SubCats met problemen

hidden link = ???
hidden link = ok?

ES = SubCats met problemen

Tours Parque Nacional Cahuita | Top #1 Tours Cahuita (tourguide-costarica.com)
hidden link = ???

Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica | Top Tours Y #1 Guías (tourguide-costarica.com)
hidden link = ???

Tours Puerto Viejo | Tourguide Costa Rica (tourguide-costarica.com)
hidden link = ???

hidden link ???

hidden link ???

== End Examples!

My question is, I am not sure, as these are also indexed, if I should change these, but IF, can I do that with the ATE or and that does sound dangerous I think, change the slug, in the translated WPML Page, for example of Dutch of German page.

I ask, I am not sure, why these slugs, in Spansh example above you see it directly, it is after domain / slug [UK Default instead of Spanish].

What is the approach and risk if I change these? Did I made mistakes, or this sometimes happens.

Regards
TT

Hi,

I see you are using the option to translate the page slug: Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title), you can find it in WPML > Settings.
That means you can translate the page slug in ATE. For example this page
hidden link
the slug is translated in ATE, please check screenshot attached.

It's not a mistake, just a translation. Sometimes you want to keep the same slug as in the original language, sometimes you want to translate them and so on. If you want to update the translation slug, please update it in ATE and you should update the URL on some pages that are linked to the page.

I hope that makes sense.
