Split: There are some bugs in the new translations

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client reported issues with internal links on their multilingual website. Some links on the German version of the site were incorrectly redirecting to either the wrong domain or to English pages despite having German translations available.
Solution:
We reviewed the reported links and found that they were functioning correctly, leading to the appropriate pages as intended. It is possible that the issue was related to caching. We advised the client to clear their cache and check again. If the problem persists, we recommended providing debug information for further investigation, which can be found here: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

jasminJ-2	There are some bugs in the new translations as sometimes internal links redirect to the roth domain of the duplicated page (good-vibes.hu) in other cases the internal links of the german page redirect to an english pages nevertheless there is a german translation of the page. How can I solve this? Here are some examples: 1. hidden link (Home) click on CTA "Jetzt Anfragen" leads to hidden link instead of hidden link 2. hidden link (Home) click on "Mehr Erfahren/learn more" at the first point "Erfahrene DJs für jede Art von Event und Musikstil" leads to hidden link but there is a german translation of this page: hidden link this issue happen with all the other points on the home page in german 3. In the last CTA-Section of the german translated homepage (hidden link) the CTA Button this time does not lead to the roth page of the clone page but again to the english contact page hidden link instead of the german existing translation: hidden link I found even more internal linking errors: 1. hidden link (HOME) "Get a quote" CTA Button in the hero section leads to a page which doest even exists anymore --> hidden link 2. But in the last CTA Section below at the end of the homepage "Get a quote now!" it works without any problems, it is the same link a leads to --> hidden link as it should Kind regards, Jasmin

Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Jasmin. I can't see any of the link problems you mention. All the buttons' links lead to what you expected them to lead to. For example, the "Jetzt Anfragen" works as expected and leads to hidden link. Please see the attached screenshot. I checked all of your examples and they all work. It appears that the issue is now resolved. Maybe it was a caching issue. Can you please confirm that the issue is now fixed? If you need further help with this issue, please share your site's Debug information. You can read about it here: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ Regards, Itamar.
