Problem:

You want to remove auto synchronization of pages/posts when duplicating them, as you need manual translation.

Solution:

After duplicating a post/page to a secondary language, open the duplicated post/page for editing and click on the Translate independently button. You can find more details on this step here: Translate Independently.

Then, return to the original language post/page and modify it to see if you are getting the expected results.

For further guidance, please refer to our documentation: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.
