annaG-29	Hi there! I have an action button in my header (I'm using the betheme wordpress template) The website is translated into two languages, swedish and english. On the swedish page the action button in the top right corner is linked to "kontakt"- the swedish contact page. But when the site is in english I would like for the action button to be linked to the english version of the contact page, right now it still goes to the swedish "kontakt" one. I asked the Bethem support and was told that the link could be changed in string translations but the action button is not located there so I was told to contact you guys for further inspection. Could you help me out? 🙂 Thanks!

Riffaz	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support. Could you please try the following steps after taking a backup and let me know how it goes: 1- Go to WPML >> Strings Translation 2- Click the link 'Translate texts in admin screens »' (you'll find it at the bottom of the page) 3) Search you action button link (without your site domain) or the action button text 4) Check the checkbox for your strings of interest. 5) Add it to 'string translation' 6) Now, all your selected strings should appear in the String Translation panel and you can translate those strings Here is doc for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-theme-options/ Before doing this please update all your WPML plugins. you are using older version of WPML. You can check the latest version here: https://wpml.org/account/downloads/ Let me know the results after checking these steps, please. Regards, Riffaz.

annaG-29	Thank you Riffaz! I actually don't need to translate the button- I only want to change the link of the button on the english page. For instance Right now when I'm on the swedish page the action button is linked to the swedish "kontakt"-page. But when the english flag is activated I would like for the action button to be linked to the english version of the "contact"-page. Can you assist me with this issue? 🙂 Thank you!
