Problem: You have a custom post type "industries" with translations in multiple languages. When accessing the language switcher on the UK (default) page, the URLs display correctly. However, for the Australian version and other languages, the URLs for Denmark and UK do not update correctly after changing the custom permalink for Australia's "construction" industry page. This issue is specific to your industry custom post type (CPT). Solution: 1. Confirm that the 'industries' post type is set to "Translatable – only show translated items" in WPML settings. 2. Check and update translated slugs for all relevant languages. 3. Flush permalinks multiple times after updating settings. 4. Review the 'industries' custom post type registration code, specifically the `has_archive` and `rewrite['slug']` settings in your theme or plugin. 5. Inspect for any filters or actions in your theme or mu-plugins that might impact the language switcher or permalink logic for CPTs.

Problem: The client is attempting to translate the post-type slug for their multi-language site. Despite following the necessary steps, including enabling Slug Translations and setting the Swedish slug to 'kundcase', the URL still displays the English slug 'case-studies' for Swedish pages.
Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML → Settings → Slug Translations. 2. Ensure that Translate base slugs of custom post types and taxonomies is enabled. 3. In the Post Types Translation section, set 'kundcase' as the Swedish slug and configure other languages as needed. 4. Go to Settings → Permalinks and click Save Changes to flush rewrite rules. 5. Clear all caches including plugin, server, CDN, and browser caches. 6. If the issue persists, deactivate all caching plugins or server caches temporarily and check again.
