Background of the issue:
I am trying to fix the directing links on my site hidden link. On the translated page (Arabic), when clicking on any icon or link, it goes to the main page (English).

Symptoms:
On the translated page (Arabic), links redirect to the main page (English) instead of the intended category or page.

Questions:
What to do to fix the directing links?
What should the link look like to direct to a category or page?

Hi there,

In the links that you added for the icons please avoid using relative URLs and instead use the Absolute ones.

For example the "Baby Boys Clothes" icon link is:

/product-category/baby-boys-clothes?v=25ec916d56b8

Please change it to:

hidden link

After that do the steps below:

- 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 languages links, this means that an update is required.
- Edit the translation again and save it up to 100% translated.

Thanks.
