Problem:

How to add a link to pages in a different language.

Solution:

You need to add the following example code in the functions.php file of your site's theme.

add_filter( 'wpml_sl_blacklist_requests', 'wpml_sl_blacklist_requests', 10, 2 );
  
function wpml_sl_blacklist_requests( $blacklist, $sitepress ) {
    $blacklist[] = 'documentation';
    return $blacklist;
}

In this example, 'documentation' represents the slug of the page you link to and don't want to take the user to the translation of this page. Please read more about this function in our documentation here.

Note:

1. You do not need to activate the Sticky Links add-on.

2. For existing pages and posts with links in their content, you might need to make a small change on the page and press the Update button. And then also update the translation.
