Problem:
You are trying to change the WPML URL structure from query parameter URLs (e.g., ?lang=en) to subdirectory URLs (e.g., /en/), but are experiencing issues with broken links leading to 404 errors or incorrect redirections.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you first make a full website backup. Then, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Settings.
2. At the bottom of the page, click on Translate link targets.
This should update all internal links to translated pages in EN on your website.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at our support forum for further assistance.
