    I’ve tried to make rules at Your plugin for secondary language:

    /es/oldurl –> /es/newurl .. but it dont work, because like i said, redirects for secondary langauge are made automatically..

    Hi,

    No, ufortunately that won’t work with WPML as they change the homeurl() at runtime. So you can only create rules without language suffixes and in theory /es/old/ should automatically redirect to /es/new automatically. We don’t have any other control over languages as those are rewritten by WMML ??

    so, if the new url name on default language is /url-name-1, automatic redirection on spanish will be /es/url-name-1.. (name will be duplicated) .. so i need to make names of new urls same as per default language.. not good for seo.. right?

    Well, if on the original/old website you disable WPML then you might be able to create rules that have /es/old-url -> /es/some-other-url as WPML won’t affect them anymore.

    I’ve did it without deactivating wpml, through htaccess file..
