[Resolved] Language switcher isn't working on Author archive page on WordPress site

Problem:
The client is managing a bilingual site with a custom post type 'News' created using Advanced Custom Fields and Elementor Pro. The archive pages translate correctly, but the author archive pages do not link properly in the language switcher, redirecting to the homepage of the opposite language instead of linking to the corresponding translated author archive page.
Solution:
We escalated the issue to our 2nd tier of support. They provided a workaround involving adding the following code to the functions.php file:

function include_custom_post_types_in_author_archive( $query ) {<br />    if ( $query->is_author() && $query->is_main_query() ) {<br />        $post_types = $query->get('post_type');<br />        if (!is_array($post_types)) {<br />            $post_types = array($post_types);<br />        }<br />        $post_types[] = 'news';<br />        $query->set('post_type', $post_types);<br />    }<br />}<br />add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'include_custom_post_types_in_author_archive' );

After implementing this code, double-check if the issue with the language switcher on the author archive pages is resolved.
