Background of the issue:
I have buttons placed on my website, hidden link, and I am trying to ensure they redirect correctly after a language is chosen. The button link is "/page/".

Symptoms:
After choosing a language, the button redirects to the default language page instead of the selected language page.

Questions:
How can I ensure the button redirects to the correct language page after a language is selected?

Hi,

Welcome to WPML support. There was no response on the chat so I turned the chat into a ticket.

Here is my answer to the questions:

Would you please use the complete URL (Absolute URL) instead of a relative one?

As an example. Instead of /reserveren/ add hidden link

Thanks.

It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.

Hi,

Thank you for the login information. The button links had to be translated manually from the Advanced translation editor by searching for the links.

I did that according to the documentation below:

If you check now it works:

hidden link
