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

Problem:
The client was concerned about the unprofessional and system-generated appearance of the URL slug 'wp-global-styles-unisved-12' for a page, which did not match the expected descriptive and cleaner 'om-oss' similar to its Polish counterpart.
Solution:
We reviewed the WPML settings and confirmed that the 'Auto-generate from title (default)' option was selected, which should automatically generate the slug based on the page title. It appeared that the slug might have been manually altered on the Swedish page's editing screen. We corrected the slug to 'om-oss' to match the expected format. We asked the client to confirm if the issue was resolved.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of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 open a new support ticket.

Also the URL in question is: hidden link

My concern is with the slug of this page (the part that reads "wp-global-styles-unisved-12"). It appears to be a system-generated name, which looks unprofessional and is not user-friendly.

Would it be possible to change this part of the URL to something more descriptive and cleaner?

Hi,

I can see the problem with the slug of this page:
hidden link.
It is expected to get it like this:
hidden link
Similar to what the original page in Polish:
hidden link

I'm unsure how this problem occurred because. In WPML -> Settings -> Page URL, the option 'Auto-generate from title (default)' is selected. So it is expected that the slug will be like the title of the page. It might be a human error that manually changed the slug on the editing screen of the Swedish page. Please see the attached screenshot. In any case, I changed it to om-oss and now it is working.
Can you please confirm that the issue is fixed now?

Thanks,
Itamar.
