Background of the issue:
The original language of my site is German, and I use WPML (automatic translation) to translate it to English. I have a page 'Links' that has many links to other pages on my site. On the English version of that page, there are some links that lead to the German (original) version because not all those linked pages have been translated to English yet. After translating one of those linked pages (XYZ), the page 'Links' is not automatically updated, which I understand.
Symptoms:
When I update the translation of the page 'Links', the link to XYZ still leads to the German version.
Questions:
What am I doing wrong?
Additionally, is it possible to let WPML search all my pages and check if there is a new translation and then WPML automatically updates all the links?
- Go to your Dashboard > Pages.
- Open the edit screen of the original page. You should see a pencil/circle/gear icon in the sidebar options under the "Languages" section.
- Make a small change, for example, add an extra blank space at the end of a sentence/paragraph.
- Save it.
- You should now see that a circular arrow appears beside the 2nd language links, this means that an update is required.
- Edit the translation again and save it up to 100% translated.
Also, make sure that in the translation editor if you see a search bar at the top you search for the link URL and check if you see additional instances of the link URL?
