Background of the issue:
I have added two languages to my site hidden link and there are translations for both languages. I am trying to set up the menu correctly for both languages.
Symptoms:
For one language, everything works well, but for the other, the menu item redirects to a page with the translation for the first language.
Questions:
How do I correctly set up the menu for both languages in WPML?
I understand the issue you're facing. After reviewing your site, I noticed that the Dutch language menu includes a Megamenu, where the menu item points to a product category in the English language.
If you want the menu and its items to display correctly in the English language as well, you will need to first translate the Megamenu template and then incorporate the translated Megamenu into the translated menu.
Please follow these steps to resolve the issue:
- Since the translation preference for the Megamenu template is already set to "Translatable", go to "Mega Menus" from your Dashboard.
- Translate the Megamenu template assigned to the menu item "Fleecedekens".
- Once the Megamenu template has been translated, translate the menu into English by following this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-menus/
- After the menu is translated into English, navigate to "Appearance > Menus" and open the English Menu.
- Enable the Megamenu for the English menu item and select the translated Megamenu template.
- Save the changes.
I hope these steps help resolve the menu issue in English. Let me know if you need further assistance or clarification. I'll be happy to help.
