Problem:
The client is trying to translate a website from English to Spanish and wants both language versions to have the same URL. However, manually changing the Spanish URL to match the English one results in a 404 error.
Solution:
1. We suggested the client to check the Spanish backend area on the main Pages list and use the 'Quick edit' option to manually adjust the URL to the desired form.
2. We cleared the site's cache and re-saved the permalinks settings to ensure the changes take effect without errors.
