Stores an associative array containing all the current page’s translation URLs. The keys of the array are the language codes. The same language can have multiple entries to match a different combination of language codes. For instance, in the case of en_US, the same URL is repeated three times with the following keys: en_us, en, and us.

In order to use this filter Browser language redirect must be enabled on the WPML -> Languages.

Following code can be used to redirect browser to homepage for a post when language is changed to specific one

function example_callback( $params ) {
    global $post;
    // Redirect the French language to the home page if the current page ID is 123
    if ( $post->ID === 123 ) {
        $params['pageLanguage'] = 'en';
        $params['languageUrls'] = [ 'fr' => 'http://example.com/fr/' ];
    }
    return $params;
}
