Really	Background of the issue: I am trying to maintain slugs for translated content in WPML. Recently, slugs for translated posts and pages have started disappearing after being set. This issue occurs only in the second site language, while the main language version remains unaffected. Symptoms: Slugs for translated content disappear approximately 30 minutes after being set, causing the post to redirect to the home page. This issue is specific to the second site language. Questions: What could possibly be removing the slugs?

Then we need to activate them to see where is the conflict.
