Problem:
The client wants the page URL to include special characters, similar to how it was displayed when using Weglot, but is now using WPML and the URLs do not retain the special characters.

Solution:
We recommend the following steps to include special characters in the slugs:
1. Consider using custom code to allow accents in permalinks. You can refer to this discussion on WordPress Stack Exchange. However, we cannot guarantee compatibility with WPML.
2. Use a third-party plugin like Permalink Manager Pro, which allows special characters in permalinks. More information can be found here: Permalink Manager Pro Documentation.
3. Manually encode the slug using a service like URL Encoder. After encoding, paste the encoded slug in the Quick Edit post section in the admin area for the Portuguese language version of the post.
For more details on how WordPress handles slugs, you can refer to the WordPress Developer Documentation.
