Problem: The client reported that after translating their site to German using AI, the button links on product pages still pointed to the Finnish pages instead of the German ones. The links under the product images were not translated and redirected users to the Finnish version of the product. Solution: We recommended the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Create a full site backup. 2. Navigate to WPML -> Settings and locate the section to adjust links, then click the button to start the process. 3. After the process completes, check if the issue is resolved. 4. If the issue persists, edit the specific product page (e.g., https://hefmec.fi/tuotteet/erikoiskoneet/), locate the element containing the problematic link, make a minor modification such as removing the last slash (/), save the changes, and update the translation. 5. Verify if the issue still exists. If these steps do not resolve the problem, it might be due to the element with the link not being correctly registered in WPML. In this case, follow the steps outlined here: How to register page builder widgets for translation.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with the automatic translation of a button on product pages, where it incorrectly displays "Subscribe Product" instead of "Order Product", you might be wondering if there's a need to edit each product page individually or if there's a centralized solution. Solution: We recommend using the WPML String Translation to adjust the button text across all product pages in one go. This can be done by accessing the Advanced Translation Editor where the button is translated. You can find and translate these specific strings directly through the WPML String Translation page. Here's how you can proceed: 1. Navigate to the WPML String Translation section in your admin panel. 2. Use the search function to locate the string "TILAA TUOTE". 3. Translate the string to "Order Product" and save the changes.
This approach should help you correct the translation for all instances of the button across your site without the need to manually edit each page.
