Thanks.

I went to appearance> menu switch the language and put in the correct links. The links in the Dutch menu are working correct now however i want to translate the Dutch links into Dutch language.

Also when i synchronise the menu the links I made are switching back to the previous not working link.

Do you know how to solve this?

Thank you.

Hi,

I checked the menu, and the links work correctly there. (Kindly check the attached screenshot)

Also, I ran the WP Menu Sync function, which didn't ruin the Dutch links.

Please let me know the steps to reproduce the issue.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

I was talking about the account menu links like "Bestellingen". This link is not working in Dutch, if i change this link to hidden link it's working however with synchronising the menu the link is changing.

Also I prefer to have the link like this hidden link

With the item "Accountgegevens" in the Dutch Menu this link hidden link is working however I want to have the link like this hidden link

For the menu item Wachtwoord vergeten in the Dutch Menu this link is working hidden link however I want to have the link in Dutch: hidden link

How can fix change this?

Thank you.

Hi,

These URLs are added as custom menu items, so they should be translated via hidden link">String Translation.

I translated them using String Translation. Please check if they work correctly on the front end.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

Yes I understand how to do it with string translation. However the translated links are not showing on the front page.

For example: hidden link with string translation this is translated to hidden link
When you click on the front page you go to this link hidden link. This link is also working however we want string translation to work for this.

Also the following Dutch menu items have the same problem:
Bestellingen
Accountgegevens

Thank you.

Hi,

The account page slug was added to String Translation as "mijn-account" while the correct one is "mijn-rekening".

Please check if the URLs are now redirected to the correct pages.

If you want to change the account slug, please change it by editing the translated hidden link">account page.

Best regards,
Osama

Ok thanks that solved the problem for that page.

However for the page Lost password in Dutch : hidden link how I change the url of this page into hidden link ?

This lost password page goes to my account page when I open the page.

Thanks.

It sounds so easy when you know how to do it.

The last logout link in Dutch "Afmelden" I fixed myself now.

About the string translations I have the attached question.

And for the Spanish menu in the bottom it did not align like on the English and Dutch page. Any idea how to solve this?

Thank you.

Hi,

1) please change the string source language if the flag is wrong.

2) I'm not sure why the Spanish menu is different. Please edit the hidden link">Spanish footer using Divi and check the menu module settings.

Best regards,
Osama

The menu show left aligned in Spanish. Before I start working on the Dutch translation it was aligned well.

Thanks.
