Hello, I am trying to mirror the menu custom links default language position on the others languages. The custom links are well translated but the custom links position does not respected the default one in English. I followed this documentation: Here are two examples languages on my stage site: Thanks, |

Hello, At the moment I am not able to view the site as it's behind a firewall from wp staging. However, this looks like possibly caused by the menu padding controlled by the theme's CSS since the strings in the translation are larger the menu is being pushed out of bounds. If this is the case, please try this as a test: 1. Go to Appearance->Menus and edit the menu translation 2. Edit the menu items and change the names to something shortened (just a few should be ok, enough to make the size as big as the default language) Test the menu again and let me know your results. |

Hi, I shortened the French menus to only one letter, A and B, but the issue remains. Thanks, |

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue. **Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken ** I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin. Thank you, |

Thank you for the access details! If I go to Appearance->Menus->Top Menu (Primary menu) I noticed that it is not translated at the moment. Please add the missing translations and you will be able to control the way the menu is displayed. Documentation: Let me know your results, please. |

Hi, It works, but has the inconvenience of now I having to redone all the menu and menu links styling for each one of the others 7 languages and for now on to manually have to sincronize any menu change on all the others languages, as if they were all independent menus, just because of adding these 2 menu custom links. Before that I just had to change the English version (whatever I did) and it automatically mirrored the changes to all the other languages, now instead of having one menu to edit, I have to edit eight menus. But if it is the only way to do it, it will have to be. Thanks, |

Glad to hear it is working as expected now! Yes, unfortunately, it is the best way to ensure no further issues will happen as the menus should be translated as well. |
