This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
In several places on the site, we have hyperlinked text and buttons that either link to specific pages or that link to media files (PDFs). However, these are English PDFs. How can I change the link for the translated side of the site?

Solution:
You can translate the links added to the page in the advanced translation editor with the following steps:

- Edit the translation with the advanced translation editor
- Use the search field to find the original link
- Add the translated link

Hi there,

In several places on the site, we have hyperlinked text and buttons that either link to specific pages or that link to media files (PDFs). However, these are English PDFs. How can I change the link for the French translated side of the site? We have French versions of the PDF that we would like the French side of the site to link to.

As an example, on this page (hidden link) in the toggles, we have hyperlinks that lead to English PDFs. How can I link to the French PDF on the French site?

Thank you.
