Problem: The client needed to translate a website into Chinese but did not want the page name (slug) used in the URL to be translated. Solution: We advised the client to navigate to WPML > Settings > Translated document options > Page URL and switch to "Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title)", then save the changes. Next, the client should edit the page in the original language, make a small change to the page title or content, save these changes, and update the translation to translate the page slug. We provided documentation for further guidance: Translating page slugs.
