[Closed] Translate Link Targets for Pages

Hello,

The button links works as expected here:
hidden link

It would be very uncommon that it works on one post and others not.

Internal links and the adjusted internal linking function can only work if the content that you are linking to has been translated to 100% inside the WPML Translation Editor and is published.

You example post:
hidden link

This post seems not to be really translated, only you are using the fallback option in order to display the original content if a translation is missing, and if so, then this behavior is expected.

If I am wrong about my presumption then please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas

Hello,

No, this actually looks kind of unexpected to me, as in your example the /getting-started link on your example page should automatically point to /de/loslegen/ without the need for a translation.

Could it be that this only occurs on specific Gutenberg Blocks from "Lazy Blocks Pro", that are not Core WordPress Blocks?

Best regards

Hello,

Yes, this is controlled by a wpml-config.xml file that should be located inside the root folder of the plugin.

If you set the "type" attribute as a "link" in the XPath for the element, then WPML should recognize it as an internal link.

Example:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="core/some-block" translate="1">
        <xpath type="link">//a/@href</xpath>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

Source:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/#gutenberg-blocks

I can offer a WPML test site on which you could install the LazyBlocks PRO Plugin so that we can test this. Would you like me to send you a link to a test site?

Best regards
Andreas

Hello,

Additional to my last message:

Which block from LazyBlocks are you using on your site?

I also invite you to try to recreate the issue on my sandbox with an example page that uses the same block while using the current free version of Lazy. If the block only is shipped with the PRO version then I need you to activate it.

I can then try to create a config that solves the issue.
