How to translate URL in php template?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to translate URL in php template or how to translate link in template? For example this:

Solution:
To add different links for each language, you can add links in the php template like this:

<?php if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'en'){ ?>
          		<a href="https://www.horizonhomes-samui.com/tag/awards/">...</a>
	<?php } elseif(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE == 'fr'){ ?>
          		<a href="https://www.horizonhomes-samui.com/fr/tag/awards">...</a>
	<?php } ?>

And you also need to translate that Tag and its related Posts into different languages. Then the translated Tags will show the translated posts like the one you have: https://www.horizonhomes-samui.com/fr/tag/awards

alexanderA	Hello. My site is at hidden link I have used WPML to create a French translation of my site (hidden link). My site has a particular PHP template that is used to add the header to the page. In this template I have added a link: <a href="hidden link"></a> On my English page, this link points to the English version of the 'awards' tag archive, as expected (see attached screenshot hh-link-en). Furthermore, when I open that page, it displays two English posts that I have marked with the "awards" tag (as expected). I have now translated those two English posts into French. When I open my French homepage, the link still points to the same English-language URL (see attached screenshot hh-link-fr). How can I ensure this link points to a URL that displays the French-language posts that have been marked with the 'award' tag? I think I first need to ensure that there is a valid URL that displays these French-language posts--is that correct? The URL hidden link is valid, but it displays zero posts. Perhaps I need to first translate the 'awards' tag? Thanks. hh-link-fr.jpg hh-link-en.png
