Hi,
This is a link product of a translation. (my original languaje is english).
hidden link.
The first link in details product: Kategorie: Erzengel-Kerzen, is making reference to my original category. But the program is not able to do the direction link automatically to: hidden link. Which is the equivalent category in germany.
I have to make it one by one in the products?

thanks,
PD: also if it is able to do it automatically, how to change the colour of the link in the text?

Hi there,

Please go to the short description of the product in question in English and check how you added the link to the category there.

If you added the link like this:

/archangel-candles

WPML can not understand it as an internal link and you will need to search for the link in the Advanced Translation Editor and translate it manually using this method:

https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/

But if you added the link like this:

hidden link;

Then the translation should be done automatically and you can do as follows:

- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Settings >Translate Link Targets".
- Click the "Scan now and adjust links" button and wait for the process to finish.

Thanks.

The process can be reverted in the future if I need or if something does not work?
I mean to let as was before,

thanks,

Hi there,

It is not a harmful process, but if you want to have a restore point it is recommended that you have a backup before performing the action.

Thanks.
