It looks like the pages are duplicated when creating, I would suggest to follow the below steps:

- Go to Dashboard->Pages
- Quick edit the page without the translations and set the slug to something else and set it as draft
- Quick edit the correct page and set slug to the correct one.
- Open the correct page and try to make some changes to see if the pages duplicates again.

Further, To help you further on this issue, I would need further information, so could you please go to WPML > Support > Debug Information and give me the information in the next reply. You can read the detailed instruction here: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

That is what I did and everything is OK, but I don't understand why the wizard does this.

Thanks,

Dave
