Problem:
The client has a custom post type called Recipes. After duplicating and translating these posts using WP All Import, updating the original English Recipes also reverted the translations back to English. This issue likely arose because the posts were duplicated instead of being set to translate independently.
Solution:
To prevent this issue, it's recommended to set posts to be translated independently, so updates to the original language don't affect the translations. Unfortunately, there's no option to change all posts to 'translated independently' at once; this adjustment needs to be made in the database. You can use a tool like phpMyAdmin to access your database. In the

wp_postmeta

table, you should delete the key

_icl_lang_duplicate_of

for the duplicated posts. This action can be performed in bulk with the correct SQL query. However, directly modifying the database can be risky. Ensure you have a full backup before proceeding.
