Tom Martin	Hello, I have site with 10 languages and around 100 pages. All pages have links to inside links the same page. Default language have all links correct but when I translating links not updating. I read https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/ https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/ But this is not solution for me because i will have 10 thousand links to update manually Is there option automatically relink translated pages to selected language links Example: en homepage have links to about us and services. when changing to spain it still links to en pages but I already have spanish the same pages. How to do that not manually, because 10 thousand links it is enormous work to do

Nigel Supporter Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+01:00)	Hi there External links (e.g. to https:/google.com) need to be translated manually (if at all), and you can search for such links in the ATE editor to translate them. But internal links can be automatically updated by WPML to point to the translated content. Just go to WPML > Settings > Translate Link Targets and run the scan. (See the screenshot.) When there is new content with links that need updating you should see a small info box at the top of the WPML > Settings page.
