Background of the issue:
I am trying to correct a mistake in the page title of a translated page into Spanish on my site hidden link. I initially made an error in the translation and have since corrected the title.

Symptoms:
The slug of the translated page does not change after updating the page title. See as example hidden link (see the differences between title and slug).

Questions:
Why does the slug not update when I change the translated page title?
How can I update the slug of a translated page without changing settings?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

Make sure you have set correct settings (Autogenerate from title) from WPML > Settings:

https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-page-slugs/#:~:text=type%20in%20Spanish-,Translate%20Page%20and%20Post%20URL%20Slugs,-By%20default%2C%20when

Then make a small change to default language and re-translate the page, it should work fine.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen
