ellenS-3	Tell us what you are trying to do? For a page that does not need to be translated, does a duplicate need to be made or do we just leave it as-is? Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? hidden link

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, A duplicate will show original content in other languages and this duplicate updates itself once the original content gets updated. As an alternative, you can go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and set "Pages" to "Translatable - or fallback to default content if a translation does not exist. This will display the default content in other languages, for content that has not been translated or duplicated. Complete guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/ Best regards Andreas

ellenS-3	Can you please simplify your answering by replying yes (duplicate) or no (leave as-is)? Question: For a page that does not need to be translated, does a duplicate need to be made or do we just leave it as-is?

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Do you want to display the original content in a second language if a translation does not exist? If you would like to display the original content in a second language while the content does not have a translation, then please go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and set the "Pages" to "Translatable - or fallback to default content if a translation does not exist." This way you will display the original pages in any second language if the pages are not translated. You will not need to create a duplicate in this case.
