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

Problem:
The client needed guidance on how to translate the URL of their shop page from English to French and how to switch the current English shop URL to a new format under a language-specific directory.
Solution:
We recommended setting the 'Nom société' field to the 'Copy once' option, which allows the client to change the company name when needed without having to edit the English post repeatedly. For a visual guide on how to implement this, we provided a video tutorial: https://www.loom.com/share/6c5c4b3493394e9483d1e0a0b967ba82.

Background of the issue:
I have a website under development: hidden link (Password: Ment@n789). The site is currently in French by default, and I am in the process of translating it into English. The shop section (hidden link) is already in English by default since the template is in English.

Symptoms:
No specific issue or error message mentioned.

Questions:
How to translate hidden link to hidden link in French?
How to switch the current hidden link to hidden link?

Hi,

You can set the Nom société field to the "Copy once" option, which allows you to change the company name when needed. If you don't need to change it, you can simply not edit the English post. Please see my video here.

Hi, Johan.

If you don't click the "Translate Independently" option, the translated post (company) will be shown in French. Any update on the French post will automatically also be shown in English. This can be convenient for you if you have nothing to change. However, if you need to change something in English, you must click this option. You can read about the option to Displaying Untranslated Content in Secondary Languages in the following link.
