nino-m.F	Background of the issue: I am trying to ensure that the first red button on the page hidden link and its translation on hidden link have the same correct mailto link. The link should be: mailto:info@unison.marketing?subject=Ich will einen unverbindlichen Produkt-Beratungstermin / Quiero una cita de consulta de producto sin compromiso&body=Name / Apellido=%0D%0AVorname / Nombre=%0D%0ATelefon+Handy / Teléfono + celular=%0D%0Aandere Kommunikationsmöglichkeit / otra opción de comunicación=%0D%0AErreichbarkeit+Wunschtermin / Disponibilidad + fecha deseada=%0D%0AEmpfehlung von / Recomendación de=@@refid@@ Symptoms: WPML is changing the '&body' to '&body' in the mailto link on the translated page, which is incorrect. Questions: Why is WPML changing '&body' to '&body' in the mailto link? How can I ensure the mailto link remains consistent across translations?

nino-m.F	Original is "&body" and in the translation is "& a m p ; body" without the spaces. Even here I have to put spaces to make the code display

nino-m.F	I added a complete different text in the string translation and it worked. Really strange....
