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

Problem:
The client needs guidance on how to manually add translated blog posts and link them correctly to their respective language versions and domains in WPML.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this, we recommend using the manual translation method available at Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages. Alternatively, if you have already created the pages with the translated content, you can follow these steps to connect a translation in the WordPress backend for each language. This can be done by selecting a different language backend from the top black bar while in the site backend. Detailed steps can be found at How to Link Already Translated Pages.

Please note that the solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML Support Forum.

Background of the issue:
I have purchased 20 individual domains, each assigned to a specific language. My main domain, models118.com, is in English. I have written a blog article in English and do not want WPML to automatically translate it. Instead, I want to manually add my own translations for the other 19 languages and assign them to their respective domains.

Symptoms:
I need guidance on how to properly add manually translated blog posts so that they are correctly linked to their respective language versions and domains in WPML.

Questions:
How can I properly add manually translated blog posts so that they are correctly linked to their respective language versions and domains in WPML?

Hi there.

You can use the manual translation method presented here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

Or if you already created the pages with the translated version of the content, in the WordPress backend for each language (you can select a different language backend from the top black bar while in the site backend), then you can use the following steps to connect a translation:

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

Please let me know how things go.
