Problem:
You have multiple standalone websites, each in a different language, with about 1000 products on each site. You want to use WPML to manage hreflang linking semi-automatically but need to connect the existing pages manually without needing translations or duplications.
Solution:
If your content in the original and translated languages is on the same site, you can manually link them by following the steps described in this FAQ: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-link-already-translated-pages/.
However, if the sites are different WordPress installations, WPML cannot be used as it only functions when the content is on the same site.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with the URL of translated posts not matching the new content after cloning and translating an original post. The translated post retains the URL of the original post instead of reflecting the new cloned content.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps depending on the translation method used:
1. If using the manual method and editing content directly in the second language via the WordPress editor, adjust the URL/slug manually from the same screen inside the WordPress edit screen, as you would do in the default language. More details can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/permalinks-and-slugs/
2. If using the WPML editor or automatic translation, ensure that the slug/URL settings in WPML are configured to auto-generate from the title. Make a small change to the default page, save it, and re-translate. Note that all changes done manually will be overwritten when you re-translate via the WPML editor or automatic translation.
