Problem:
When translating a block theme, specifically the 'Header' template and 'Navigation Menus', some URLs in the secondary language do not update with the language code and translated slug, while others link to the primary language without a language prefix.
Solution:
First, ensure that when using the WordPress block 'Custom Link', you include the entire URL for the link, not just the slug (e.g., /articles). After updating the URL, resend the 'Navigation Menu' for translation. This should make the URL field appear correctly in the translation interface.
It's important not to use the Site Editor to edit the Navigation in a second language. Instead, always use the Translation Management and translate the Navigation with the WPML Translation Editor. Here's how:
1. Go to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard.
2. If 'Click filters' is visible, click it to see all the site's content.
3. Create a job for your Navigation Menu and access it at WPML > Translations.
4. When translating the navigation, you can translate the links on the WPML Translation Editor.
