This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to translate URL slugs on your site, but they do not translate and default to the main language, Swedish, for both secondary languages, English and Norwegian.
Solution:
We found that the site links were using https, while the site was set to http, causing a mismatch. To resolve this:
1. Update the site URL to https from Settings >> General.
2. Go to WPML >> Settings and click the “Scan now and adjust links” button to fix the internal links.
3. If you still notice any page with incorrect links, resend that page for translation from WPML >> Translation Dashboard and check again.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the URL slugs in the text field area on my site hidden link using WPML. Previously, this issue was resolved through support, but the ticket is no longer available. I have followed all the suggested steps and reviewed the documentation.

You can have a look for this listing, but all have the same issue, hidden link

Symptoms:
The URL slugs do not translate and default to the main language, Swedish, for both secondary languages, English and Norwegian.

Questions:
Why are the URL slugs not translating to the secondary languages?
What steps can I take to resolve the issue with URL slugs defaulting to Swedish?

I checked the issue in detail and found that the site links were using https, while the site was set to http, which caused the mismatch. To fix it, I did the following:

1. Updated the site URL to https from Settings >> General (screenshot attached).
2. Went to WPML >> Settings and clicked the “Scan now and adjust links” button and it fixed the various internal links.
3. If you still notice any page with incorrect links, please resend that page for translation from WPML >> Translation Dashboard and check again.

Thank you
