Problem: The client is experiencing automatic 301 redirects on all translated pages of their multilingual website, redirecting each non-English page to its English counterpart despite the 'Redirect visitors based on browser language' option being disabled in WPML settings. Additionally, translated pages are automatically assigned a slug ending with -2, even though no duplicates exist. Solution: For the issue of 301 redirects, it appears that the redirects are expected behavior when accessing the default language page directly. The Italian version of the page should be accessed via its correct path, which includes the language directory, e.g.,
https://caalvise.com/it/contatti/
. This should resolve the indexing issues as the correct URLs will be accessed. Regarding the slug issue with '-2', it was identified that there is indeed a page with the original slug 'hotelsinvenice' on the site. The client can edit this page directly by accessing https://caalvise.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=87801&action=edit&lang=en.
