Hello,

I am glad to hear that you solved the first issue already and I would not suggest using any plugin that intervenes with the internal linking of pages (Page Links To), as WPML will handle this for you, and using additional plugins might cause unexpected issues.

About your last comment:

When working with shortcodes and you have already one shortcode per language, then you need to place the matching shortcodes manually on each page in each language, as you will not be able to translate such shortcodes with the WPML Translation Editor.

Best regards
Andreas

Thank you for the reply.

1. So do you mean that WPML do have a feature alike Page Links To ?
If so, please provide the details

2. From the previous attachments, you can see that original shortcodes still showed in other language page, do you mean that this is the standard behavior's ?

Thank you

Hello there,

1. So do you mean that WPML do have a feature alike Page Links To ?
If so, please provide the details

I am not familier with the feature of the plugin page links to, but if you include an internal links within the site, wpml will auto-translate the links if the translations exists, there is no need to edit the link in secondary languages.

2. From the previous attachments, you can see that original shortcodes still showed in other language page, do you mean that this is the standard behavior's ?

To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me with those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.

Hello there,

On the translation for the pages you have translated the shortcodes with new IDs, so it's showing the IDs, please do not translate shortcodes, for now, use the same text in translations and it will be solved.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

I get what you mean.
But when you preview the page, is a page with Table.
The table is using shortcode.
And table cannot be translated using translation.

That's why I duplicate another language specific table shortcode.

Thank you

WPML should automatically find the translated ids of the shortcode.

If not, you can manually edit the page and use the shortcode Instead of Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks
