    Hi,

    I use post name permalinks and want to have the same address format for all languages except lang code like this:

    domain.com/en/subpage
    domain.com/de/subpage

    But slug (used as post name) have to be unique so every post have his own slug and now I have it like this:

    domain.com/en/subpage-en
    domain.com/de/subpage-de

    Is there some solution for that?
    Thank you!

    Go to Settings -> Languages -> Settings
    and change the URL modifications setting if it’s using the option that says: The language is set from content. Posts, pages, categories and tags urls are not modified.
    Than change it to: The language code, for example /en/, is added to all urls when using pretty permalinks. and than hit save

    Go to Settings -> Permalinks and re-save your settings.

    Hi Ayman,

    I met the same question. After setting my site according to your instruction, the language code can be added to URLs automatically but I still cannot use one slug name in different language sites.

    e.g. I want the URLs in format as
    domain.com/en/mypage and domain.com/de/mypage
    rather than
    domain.com/en/mypage and domain.com/de/mypage2.

    Thanks very much!

    Sorry my mistake that I didn’t understand your question at first.

    However, I don’t really think that is possible to do what you want. Because each post should have it’s unique “Slug Name” so when trying to visit the post wordpress should have a clear indication to which post should retrieve from the database.In other words, once a slug is reserved no other post can use it again and if you try to give 2 posts the same slug you will always endup with a number added into the last part of the slug.

    I confirm that this is not supported by Polylang. However, AndyDeGroo made something to obtain this result.
