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

Problem:
The original slug language is wrong. How do I change it?

Solution:
In order to change the language of slugs go to WPML> String translation and look for that slug. To change the language of specific strings, select them and click on the Change language button. Then, select a new language.

If you do not see some slug, add Translation in WooCommerce> Store URLs, and then it will appear in WPML > String Translation.

Hello,

I can see your default language is EN.

So you should set your URLs (slug) in your default language and then use WooCommerce Multilingual -> Store URLs to translate it to Turkish.

Your default values should be in the default language (EN) and then translated. The same goes for Settings>Permalinks it should set for English and then translated. Please check the attached image.

The same goes for attributes and taxonomies, but there is a workaround you can use. Go to WooCommerce Multilingual>Attrbutes> Translations of taxonomy labels and slug> click Change language.

Then change the default language to some other (you can choose any) and then translate that attribute slug.

Please check the attached screenshot.

Please check our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/#translating-urls

Let me know how it goes and don't hesitate to ask if you find any problem along the way or have doubts or questions about the steps mentioned above, I'll do my best to help you in the best way possible.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,
I think you misunderstood me. or I did not understand you.
The default language of our site is Turkish. But it seems to be English in the StoreURLs section. It should be in Turkish!

Hello,

thanks for the feedback. You are right I understood wrongly, sorry for that.

In order to change the language of slugs from English to Turkish please go to WPML> String translation and look for that slug. To change the language of specific strings, select them and click on the new Change language of selected strings button. Then, select a new language.

If you do not see some slug, please first add Translation in WooCommerce> Store URLs, and then it will appear in WPML > String Translation.

Info: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#original-language-of-strings

After changing go to Settngs>Pemalinks and click Save to resave permalinks.

Please let me know how it goes and don't hesitate to ask if you find any problem along the way.

Regards,
Drazen

At the "endpoint" the originalSlug has improved. With your help, the original language now appears in Turkish.

But "Attribute slug" is the original language is showing in english. This original language should be Turkish. I can't fix this.

Hello,

I will provide more information, so the process is the same:


If you do not see some slug, please first add Translation in WooCommerce> Store URLs, and then it will appear in WPML > String Translation.

1) Add Translation for that slug in WooCommerce> Store URLs
2) Go to WPML > String translation and there you can edit that slug, change language etc., save
3) Go to Settings>Permalinks and save

Please check the images I am providing.

Please let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen
