Background of the issue:
I have done a link scan so the hyperlink will point to translated content. I am trying to ensure that the hyperlink in the images points to English content. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
The link scan does not work as expected. When visiting the German or English site, the links point to Swedish content instead of English.

Questions:
Why do the links point to Swedish content instead of English after a link scan?
How can I ensure that hyperlinks point to the correct translated content?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

Before proceeding further, may I request you to try the following please?

1) Take a full backup of your site and database before proceeding. It is highly advised to try these on a dev or staging site first, so your live site isn't compromised.
2) Deactivate all plugins except WPML and String Translation. And switch to the parent theme (Hello Elementor).
3) Switch back to latest stable versions of WPML plugins.
4) Check for the issue if it still happens.
5) Then start activating plugins one by one while keep checking for the issue. This way you 'll be able to pinpoint a conflict when & where it starts creating the problem.
6) If after activating all plugins you see that it still works fine, then switch to your theme and see if that's causing it.

Please let me know your findings and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter.

Regards.
