kelvinV	Hi Shekhar Thank you. Just now, we noticed something strange again for another blog post. We surfed to the URL (hidden link) and saw it was in Dutch (correct language). Then, we clicked edit, and it literally switched to English in front of our eyes. Luckily, we could use revisions to put it back, but the "editing" triggered the overwrite when originally the language was Dutch... Thought we'd let you know! Kelvin

Shekhar Bhandari WPML Supporter since 03/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kathmandu (GMT+05:45)	Hello there, Our 2nd tier checked and suggested the following to be added on wp-config.php to see if it helps. define( 'WPML_TRANSLATION_AUTO_UPDATE_ENABLED', false ); Can you add this and check if it helps. Thanks

kelvinV	Hi Shekhar I've added the line to our wp-config file. We don't use a page builder for our theme, but hopefully this line will fix it. I will keep you posted. Kind regards Kelvin

kelvinV	Hi there I think changing the setting helped in not overwriting when clicking edit, so that's great. Thank you. Regarding the other issue, I don't want to close the ticket just yet as it hasn't been that long to see if it's fully resolved now. I will keep monitoring the automatic overwrites this coming week and if nothing strange happens anymore we can close the ticket. Thank you Kelvin
