Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate pages, menus, and strings from German to English using WPML. After translation, all menu items are translated correctly, but the links of the main menu items (Divi) work correctly only inside the English navigation. I have tried translating the individual links via string translation by adding the "/en/" string, like changing from German "/240-2/#technologies" to English "/en/240-2/#technologies". I also manually changed the German word of the anchor to English. Sticky links are activated, and I prefer not to deactivate them.

Symptoms:
The individual menu items are linking from the English menu to the anchors of the original German pages. The anchor "#technologies" may not exist in the English auto-translated page.

Questions:
How can I systematically fix the issue of menu items linking to the wrong pages?
Should I delete the English menu completely and create it from scratch?

Hi,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. Thanks for contacting us.

While waiting for one of my colleagues to help with this ticket, I had a quick look at your site and I think that the link is not translated correctly:

The translation of hidden link is hidden link

So the link shouldn't be /en/240-2/#technologies but /en/products/#technologies

If I've misunderstood your issue, or if my suggestions didn't resolve your problem, let us know.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Nico
