Problem:
The client was having some issues with a duplicated page where the default was alyways overwriting his translation.
Solution:
- "duplication" will keep the original page and the duplicated page in sync. It means that any change made on the original page (even simply clicking on "update") will overwrite any change you made on the translation
- As soon as you want to make a change you need to click "Translate independently" and the synchronization will stop.
Problem: 1. When copying a blog post to another language, the language prefix (e.g., -tr) is added to the category name in the URL. 2. When copying a page or custom taxonomy to a new locale, the name in the URL is translated, which is not desired.
Solution: For the first issue, currently, there is no automated solution. The behavior of adding a language prefix to the category name when copying a post to a new language is a default WordPress behavior, and it must be edited manually.
For the second issue, to prevent the URL from being translated when copying a page or custom taxonomy: 1. Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Translated documents options -> Page URL. 2. Choose the option 'Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title)'. 3. Click the Save button. After this change, when using WPML's Translation Editor to translate a page, you will have the option to translate the slug. Instead of translating it, simply copy the original value to the translation side.
