maxineE-2	Hi. I was wondering is there a way to have multiple hreflangs and have them based off of another? For example a secondary language like /es but have another that's /es-mx that's a 100% copy of /es. Menu and pages.

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Hello, Yes, that is possible by adding a custom language. 1. Go to WPML->languages->Edit languages and add your custom language 2. Go to WPML->Translation Management -> Bulk duplicate from Spanish into the custom Spanish language Documentation on how to add a custom language with WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/

maxineE-2	Ok, but is there a way for the /es-mx site to be a 100% mirror of /es for example? So we don't have to recreate menus, duplicate pages, and such? /es is a secondary language if that matters

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	There is no way to do this without manually duplicating the content. You can quickly do the duplications using WPML->Translation Management and doing a bulk duplicate from one language to another but at the moment we don't have a way to mirror is because these are secondary languages.
