Problem: The client is developing a website and wants all hyperlinks to automatically change to the corresponding language after the site is fully translated using WPML. However, the link https://metalstek.com/deposition-materials/evaporation-sources/ is not being translated by WPML. The client previously resolved an issue with the Elementor image link module by adding custom XML configuration, but now faces a new issue where manually changed Elementor container links are not translatable. Solution: We advised the client to ensure that all page translations are completed, as incomplete translations can prevent the automatic translation of links. Once translations are 100% complete, WPML should automatically handle the translation of internal links. We also recommended disabling all caching on the site to avoid issues with translations not appearing. Additionally, we provided a guide on translating links (https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-links/) and highlighted a known issue with translating internal links from some elements.
