Overview of the issue

When using the WordPress Classic Editor or the Gutenberg classic block, internal links within the content are not being translated.

Workaround

Please, manually launch WPML’s link translation feature:

  • Go to WPML > Settings > Translate Link Targets page.
  • Run the Scan and Translate Links feature to update the internal links to the correct translated URLs.

  1. We are having great problems to resolve a problem with the top bar links translation. On our German Main website entry page (default language) we maintain a top bar in our template with links to “Kontakt” and “über uns”. Although we were able to translate these navigation links in WPML, the translated words are suppressed in our top bar when switching to English or French. We spent now hours to find the problem – without success. Please let us know how to rectify this issue.

  2. Hello,

    I have the same issue.

    I translated all my content from English to 6 other languages. But the internal links in the translated articles point to English articles and not the translated articles.

    I tried to Scan and Translate Links but it didn’t work.

    Can you please advise how to fix this issue?

    Thank you!
