Hello,

I have created hundreds of pages with WPML and one issue keeps coming up! Especially if I work with a new translator or hand the website over to my client.

I think I speak for many WPML users that have experienced creating a full website, then when translating, the content on the default language is changed to the translation. Of course, the mistake is on the translator, because he translated a duplicate page.

This could easily be avoided if duplicates could ONLY be changed while on their original page/post.

What are your reflections on this, and sorry for posting here, I couldn't find a feedback button 🙂

Allt the best!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting WPML support,

I do not quite understand what you are experiencing, as WPML shouldn't change the content and if the translator changes a duplicate, how is it affecting the original content?

Can you explain it further or provide me with a video showing me one case of this?

Your feedback is appreciated!

Best,
