jeffC-16	Tell us what you are trying to do? I wanted keep my URL slug all in english for simplicity. I've tried changing the "Encode URLs" under Languages to "No" but the pages still appears the slug with translated language. Do I also need to change the “Page URL" to "Copy from original language if translation language uses URLs" too? Otherwise, how can I fix this? Thanks. Is there any documentation that you are following? A ticket by someone else in the forum Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? cbfriend.com/zh-hans/

jeffC-16	Hi Bobby, It is still showing as a translated slug. Do I need to keep "Encoded URLs" as Yes?

Go to WPML->Languages->edit languages and set the language to Yes for encoding. Unfortunately for the already translated pages, you will have to manually edit the permalink. Go to Pages -> select the secondary language -> select the page and quick edit -> change the permalink and save. Let me know your results, please.
