 * Hello,
 * I would like to not translate custom posts while still translating the remainder
   of the page.
 * I can do this by simply using pll_current_language to set things on a given page(
   eg: header) while the custom post remains untranslated.
 * However, doing this leaves me without a separate permalink. So I have two pages(
   for two different languages) on the same permalink, which is bad for SEO.
 * I can only create a separate permalink if I translate the custom posts; however,
   this seems wasteful as I will just be inserting the same exact post title and
   post content for its translations.
 * How can I create a separate permalink for a translation of a page without translating
   the post?
 * Thanks.
