Overview of the Issue
When translating your content with WPML, links containing query parameters (e.g., domain.com?param=value&another=value) may be incorrectly translated. Specifically, the ampersand & in the query string may be HTML-encoded to &, causing the link to pass incomplete parameters.
Workaround
This issue is fixed in WPML Multilingual CMS 4.9.3. Updating solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.
We are aware of this issue and our developers are working on a permanent fix.
In the meantime, we recommend manually correcting the affected links in the translation:
- Edit the translation using the WordPress editor or your page builder editor (instead of the translation editor ATE).
- Correct the links that contain query parameters.
- Save the changes and verify the links on the front-end.
