Problem: After migrating from Polylang to WPML using the 'Migrate Polylang to WPML' plugin, the client experienced issues with duplicate pages and incorrect URL structures for translated pages. Additionally, some pages like Home and Contact Us were not available for translation in the WPML Translation Editor. Solution: 1. To address duplicate pages, we advised the client to check the Languages section on the affected pages and manually link translations if they were missing. This process is detailed in our guide: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-link-already-translated-pages/ 2. For pages not appearing in the WPML Translation Editor, we recommended making a minor content update to the original page and then saving it to refresh the translation availability. 3. To correct the URL structure for translated pages, the client was instructed to manually adjust the slugs using the language switcher in the WordPress admin bar. This adjustment ensures that the URLs reflect the desired language structure without duplication.
