Is it possible to change the language URL format to include country codes like /ca/fr/ and /us/en/?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are developing a site and want to change the language URL format to include country codes like /ca/fr/ and /us/en/ instead of the default format like /fr-ca/ and /en-us/. You tried modifying the

REQUEST_URI

in an init hook but were unable to modify the permalink to achieve the desired URL format.

We are continuously working to enhance our features, and if we introduce more options for the URL format in the future, we will announce it through a blog post on our site.

Carl	Background of the issue: I am developing a site and want to change the language URL format to include country codes like /ca/fr/ and /us/en/ instead of the default format like /fr-ca/ and /en-us/. I am using WPML and have tried modifying the REQUEST_URI in an init hook with the following code: add_action('init', function(){ $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = str_replace('/ca/en/','/en/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = str_replace('/us/en/','/en-us/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); }); However, I cannot modify the permalink. Symptoms: I cannot modify the permalink to achieve the desired URL format. Questions: Is it possible to change the language URL format to include country codes like /ca/fr/ and /us/en/?
