Problem: If you're experiencing issues where editing an original link field from '/contact/' to '/shop/' causes the translated link field to change to '/shop/' instead of 'en/shop/' because it is set to 'Copy', we have a solution for you. Solution: We recommend setting the field configuration to 'translate' instead of 'copy' or 'copy once'. This adjustment will make the field value available in the WPML Translation Editor, allowing you to manually translate the link. Additionally, for automatic adjustment of internal links, you might want to test using the
wpml_permalink
hook when calling the links inside your theme's template files. You can find more details on this workaround here. However, if you are using a page builder to display the fields on the frontend, this workaround might not be applicable. It would also be very helpful if you could send us the WPML debugging information to better assist you. More information on how to provide this can be found here.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We 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. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.
