The Duplicate Site has to be  exactly the same as the Original site so that I can make a minor modifications to  make it work for other countries . It will take time to create a site and build all the web pages. Please indicate the Process how I can duplicate the site.

    I cannot follow the steps in Tina's reply because I'm using macOS.

    It's also impossible to use SPOServices on Azure Cloud Shell.

    These features should not be hidden behind flags, special command line arguments, or code. This feature should be exposed in the UI.

    Fix it.

    It still is, you just have to know how to access it.

    This method is totally a legacy solution and should not be relied upon and it now fails when you try and save the site template file in any case with an error message:

    Unable to convert the HeaderColorIndexInLightMode XML attribute for the WebTemplate XML element for feature {eb336846-9820-4ec8-a767-3b7bb5bb778e} to a positive integer value.

    The proposed new approach is to use Site Designs https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/get-started-create-site-design but that is not the same as it amounts to running a series of post provisioning scripts that add lists and libraries etc. but this has its limitations (no content for example)

    The ability to save a site as a proper and complete template was a staple of on-prem SharePoint for decades and Microsoft would do well to bring this capability back in a way that properly support SPO and modern sites. My bet is that they won't though - too much effort.
