The client is trying to ensure that content within ACF WYSIWYG editor is translated correctly, but the links within that content still point to the site's default language.

If you\'re experiencing issues with links in the ACF WYSIWYG editor pointing to the default language after translation, it\'s important to note that links should automatically update to the correct language when their translations are available. If you\'ve translated the content using WPML\'s Translation Editor, you also need to translate the links within the WYSIWYG fields from the Translation Editor. To do this, please follow the steps in our guide: <ul><li><a href="https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/#how-do-i-translate-urls-with-the-advanced-translation-editor" target="_blank">How to translate URLs with the Advanced Translation Editor</a></li></ul> If this solution doesn\'t seem relevant to your situation, please <a href="https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/" target="_blank">open a new support ticket</a> and we will be happy to assist you further.

Prosenjit Barman WPML Supporter since 03/2023 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, Thanks for contacting WPML Support. Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend. I understand the issue you're having and will try my best to assist you in this matter. Please note that links are generally updated automatically in other languages based on the availability of their translations. However, if you have inserted the link within the WYSIWYG fields and translated the contents of these fields using the WPML Translation Editor (ATE), then the link also needs to be translated from the Translation Editor. To understand how you can find and translate the links from translation Editor, please follow the instructions mentioned in the guide below. - https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/#how-do-i-translate-urls-with-the-advanced-translation-editor I hope it will help. But, if you need further assistance, feel free to let me know. I will be happy to help. Best regards, Prosenjit
