 * Hi [@rstrah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rstrah/),
 * Could you try to manually update the plugin to the development version using 
   the below URL:
   [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/permalink-manager.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/permalink-manager.zip)
 * and then uncheck “_Edit permalinks in WPML’s Translation Editor_” option in the
   plugin settings?
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/0HzkEjT.png?ssl=1)
 * This should allow Permalink Manager to automatically generate the custom permalinks
   for new translations.

 * Hi [@rstrah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rstrah/),
 * Ok, thank you for clarifying it. The plugin does not use custom fields to store
   the URLs, as it stores them separately in wp_options table. If you would like
   to copy the URL of the original post after the translation is completed, please
   use this simple code snippet:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function pm_copy_original_uri_when_translation_completed( $new_post_id, $fields, $job ) {	if ( ! is_object( $job ) || empty( $job->original_doc_id ) || ! class_exists( 'Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions_Post' ) ) {		return;	}	// Get current custom permalink of original post	$original_post_uri = Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions_Post::get_post_uri( $job->original_doc_id );	if ( empty( $custom_uri ) ) {		Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions::save_single_uri( $new_post_id, $original_post_uri, false, true );	}}add_action( 'wpml_pro_translation_completed', 'pm_copy_original_uri_when_translation_completed', 100, 3 );
       ```

 * Hi [@mbis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/) 
   It seems that it does 
   not work very well for me. Although in wpml it is worth not translating the url,
   it still translates it (the slug itself) and the translation is also fixed in
   the permalink field

 * Hi [@rstrah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rstrah/),
 * As of now there is no way to make WPML ignore and not translate non-standard 
   fields displayed in the Advanced Translation Editor 🙁
 * For this reason, the code I sent simply forces Permalink Manager to ignore the
   text displayed in the “Custom Permalink” field and instead it copies the permalink
   of the original post.
 * If this is not what you meant, please send me the screenshot of the WPML Translation
   Editor & the actual URL used for the translated post (also let me know how exactly
   should it look like).

 * Based on you current settings, the slug should be copied from the original post
   also when Permalink Manager is deactivated. All the settings displayed in WPML
   dashboard affect only the native slugs used in the original permalinks.
 * Therefore, if the native slug is not copied correctly by WPML, it will not be
   copied to the custom permalink controlled by Permalink Manager either.
 * You need to make sure that this function works as intended if Permalink Manager
   is not active (so the native slug is copied if translated one is expected to 
   be Russian and include encoded characters).
 * Could you temp. **deactivate it, translate any new post and send me one more 
   screenshot showing how its slug and full URL look like when Permalink Manager
   is disabled**.
