This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client wants WPML to automatically scan internal links from default/custom Gutenberg blocks and ACF Link fields to ensure that users are directed to the correct language version of a page. They encountered issues where changes on the source page were not applied to the translated page.
Solution:
For ACF Link fields, the translation preference should be set to 'Translate' to allow for automatic scanning of links. For custom Gutenberg blocks, if they are rendered via React using a JSON data prop, the internal links might not automatically update to point to translated pages. In such cases, disabling WPML Translation for the specific page and translating it manually with the default WordPress editor is recommended as a workaround. More details can be found here: Using different translation editors for different pages.
Additionally, a separate ticket was created to address the issue of changes not being applied to the translated page, which can be followed here: WPML support forum topic.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also advise 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.
