jimeH	Hi Mateus, We need help with translating our website. How can we update our links automatically in our text, buttons and other elements? At the container link url sections, the translate sections are not translated to the english url /en/. How can we fix this?

I went to wp-admin > Settings > General, and while they values seem the same, I just re-save the settings in the screen and tried scanning the links again in WPML -> Settings -> Translate Link Targets. Now when I check the links in the secondary languages, they seem updated. Can you please test it again? Thank you, please let us know. Mateus

jimeH	Hi Mateus, Unfortunately, we manually edited these links yesterday. However, if you implement these changes and activate the function for automatic links, I don't believe this issue will be resolved. Please review the product page with internal links for further examination. See productpage link and also see screenshot: hidden link When you click on the internal link you go to the dutch page: hidden link But you need to go to: hidden link I tried to select the text and apply the marker, but no succes.

I asked my colleagues to have a look at this issue in order to see if there's anything I'm missing. I'll come back here as soon as one of my colleagues reply back to me (which it shouldn't take long). Thanks,
