This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are preparing to launch a multilingual site and are using the WPML plugin. You've encountered two issues: DeepL is not appearing in the list of available translation engines, and slugs are being translated into German despite the setting to keep them in the original language.
Solution:
To address the issue with DeepL not appearing as a translation engine, we have manually enabled it for you. Please verify if DeepL is now available and functioning correctly on your site. Regarding the slugs being incorrectly translated into German, this might be due to a specific configuration error or a bug within the WPML settings. We recommend checking the WPML slug translation settings again to ensure they are configured correctly to keep slugs in the original language.

If these solutions do not resolve your issues or if the information provided becomes outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should the problem persist, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us for further assistance at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
We are preparing to launch our new site and want to have a multilingual version available. We plan to support 5 languages, but are currently focusing on English and German. We are using the WPML plugin on our website hidden link.

Symptoms:
DeepL is missing from the list of available translation engines. Slugs are being translated into German even though the setting to keep them in the original language is enabled.

Questions:
How can we enable DeepL for use with WPML?
Why are slugs being translated into German despite the setting to keep them in the original language?
