The client translated their footer widget, but the links in Arabic were not directing to the correct Arabic pages.

We advised the client to edit the footer widget links to use absolute URLs instead of relative ones. For example, changing <code>/my-account/</code> to <code>https://eg.prcnstore.com/my-account/</code>. After updating the links, the client should go to the WordPress Dashboard > String Translation and translate the URLs to their Arabic equivalents, such as translating <code>https://eg.prcnstore.com/my-account/</code> to <code>https://eg.prcnstore.com/ar/my-account/</code>. This process should be repeated for all relevant links. Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at <a href=\'https://wpml.org/known-issues/\'>https://wpml.org/known-issues/</a>, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at <a href=\'https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/\'>WPML support forum</a>.

Would you please provide the debug information? https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ May I ask you to use the separate widget mode and not the transcription? So you will have full access to the widget? https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/#display-different-widgets-each-language Thanks.

Christopher Amirian WPML Supporter since 07/2020 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hello, Thank you for the debug information. I checked the widget in the front end, and I see that you have the link, for example, to an account like this: /my-account/ That is not the correct way. Please edit the widgets and instead of the relative URLs use absolute URLs such as: hidden link Save the widget and then go to WordPress Dashboard > String Translation. Search for "hidden link" and translate it to "hidden link" that should do the trick. Do the same thing for the other links. Thanks.
