The client is facing an issue where slugs for French, Spanish, and Portuguese pages are being translated instead of being copied from the original English slug, despite enabling the 'Copy from original language if translation language uses encoded URLs' setting in WPML. This setting worked for Arabic but not for other languages.
Solution:
We recommend trying the following steps after ensuring you have a full site backup:
1) Navigate to WPML >> Languages >> Site Languages. 2) Click on the Edit Languages link. 3) In the table that appears, locate the "Encode URLs" column. 4) Set "Encode URLs" to "Yes" for all secondary languages, but leave the main language unchanged. 5) Click Save and clear all types of caches. 6) Test the setting by translating a new page to see if the slugs are copied correctly.

You are trying to customize the flags for selected languages on your site, specifically wanting to change the shape and color of the flags.
Solution:
WPML does not provide built-in options to directly change the shape or color of language flags. However, you can customize them by following these steps:
1. To change the shape of the flags (e.g., round or square), upload your custom flag images. Navigate to WPML >> Languages >> Site Languages, click the Edit Languages link next to the language, upload the new flag image, and save the changes.
2. Since flags are image files, to change the color, create and upload colored versions of the flags. WPML does not support automatic color changes. If needed, you can use custom CSS to apply visual effects.
Please ensure to take a full site backup before making these changes. For more detailed instructions, refer to the following documentation:
