Every time we update an English page, the automatic translation updates the changes in the other languages.

Sometimes, when it comes to hyperlinks, there is no need to update them because there are different hyperlinks for each language.

For example on this page there is an iframe

hidden link
<iframe aria-label='DryGair Questionnaire Form' frameborder="0" style="height:500px;width:99%;border:none;" src='hidden link;

hidden link
<iframe aria-label='DryGair Questionnaire Form' frameborder="0" style="height:500px;width:99%;border:none;" src='hidden link;

hidden link
<iframe aria-label='DryGair Questionnaire Form' frameborder="0" style="height:500px;width:99%;border:none;" src='hidden link;

hidden link
<iframe aria-label='DryGair Questionnaire Form' frameborder="0" style="height:500px;width:99%;border:none;" src='hidden link;
hidden link
<iframe aria-label='DryGair Questionnaire Form' frameborder="0" style="height:500px;width:99%;border:none;" src='hidden link;

As you can see each language has a different code of ifram - when we updated the English page - all other languages were updated as well as the ifram code to lang=EN
I would like to know how to bypass the hyperlinks inside text or code - since they differ from language to language.

Hi Hanni,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

You can open the Advanced Translation Editor to update the translation, search for the keyword "http" to translate the URL and add the language code to the URL for each language. Please follow the documentation https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I did not understand your question.
What's going on, when I update a page in English?
All the links change according to the page in English and then all the manual link that we edit on all other languages changes according to the English page edit

Hi,

This is Waqas, I'll be handling this ticket until Long is on vacation (this week).

Can you check this guide https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-page-slugs/#sending-post-or-page-slugs-to-translators and set "Translated documents options" as mentioned? Although this mainly affects Page URL but may be helpful in this case.

If it doesn't help, please provide the debug information of your website for an overview of your setup. See https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ for more information.

I've enabled the debug information section for your next reply.

Additionally you can also take a look at https://wpml.org/faq/checklist-before-opening-a-ticket-in-wpml-support/ and cross-check for a few initial fixes.

See https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ for details on privacy and security.

Regards.
