ninaR-3	Background of the issue: I was working on several custom post types, and my client reported that their content is now overwritten with the original language. I expected to see a French translated page. URL: hidden link. We have four languages which we translate our posts into. It happened with all the posts she was working on. So I can't imagine she was copying the content over all this many times. In the revision you can see the correctly translated text on the left and the german orginal text on the right. Symptoms: The content of custom post types is overwritten with the original language instead of the expected French translation. Questions: Is there any explanation for why the content was overwritten with the original language? Could this issue occur without pressing the 'overwrite this content with German' button?

Prosenjit Barman WPML Supporter since 03/2023 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There! I hope you're doing well. Before this thread gets assigned to my colleague, I'd like to offer some initial guidance or potential solutions. Content can only be overwritten under the following circumstances: - The translation is not set to function independently. - The "Overwrite" or "Copy" button is clicked during the translation process. Could you please check the following guide and make sure that the translation is made independently? - https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ If the translation was created using the Translation Editor, it should not be overwritten. So, if possible please try adding the translation using ATE or CTE and then check again. You can enable a translation editor from WPML > Settings. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. We'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter. Best regards, Prosenjit
