Problem: You are using WordPress with Elementor Pro and have encountered issues with HTML widgets where links do not automatically adapt to the current language. Additionally, these links sometimes revert to the default language or get incorrectly translated after updates via the WPML Translation Manager. Solution: 1.WPML can recognize internal links in HTML, such as those used in a Gutenberg HTML Block or an Elementor HTML Widget. For example:
Here is my <a href="http://wpml.local/test-foo/" target="_blank">link</a>
2. In the WPML Translation Editor, this link field is locked by default to ensure automatic adjustment if the linked content is translated. If you unlock the link field, you must manually adjust the links. 3. If the translation was created before the linked content was translated, use WPML > Settings > Translate Link Targets to scan and adjust internal links. 4. Ensure separation of concerns by loading CSS and JS over the theme rather than through content.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check the related known issues, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, we recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
