Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am using automatic translation. I want the internal links in the content to point to the translated content, but still, they are pointing to the default site language. I run the option that can be found on WPML > Settings > Translate internal links and apparetnly modified 112 internal links but some did not.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Yes, in this page which is in english language hidden link there are two internal links pointing to two pages but to spanish (default language). Those two pages are also translated to english but the links are still pointing to the spanish version.
Hello Long, thanks for your answer.
I would like WPML to do it automatically if possible. It's a total of 130 listing pages to be translated into 6 languages. Then, when listing pages are finished, we have 56 pages counting 150.000 words (again, to be translated into 6 extra languages). That escalates the internal links to be corrected to astronomical numbers that makes it impossible to correct by hand.
I'm afraid that currently it's not possible to adjust the internal link in a builder automatically like that. You will need to translate the links manually.
Ok, that's a real bummer. So my question at this point is: it is possible and safe (I mean safe from a content-loss possibility point of view) to translate everything automatically through machine translation, publish directly, and then deactivate the advanced translation editor? That way we could manually change the links in a faster way (WordPress suggests links better than the Advanced Translation Editor). I do not care of losing the translation memory or anyting, I just care about if switching to classic editor or even manual translation AFTER having used the automatic translation will delete the automatic translations. I have been checking your documentation here https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/ and here https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ but couldn't figure it out.
Thanks,
It's ok if you switch to the Classic Editor or WordPress Editor from Advanced Translation Editor, the automatic translation will not be deleted.
There is one note if you change the content and translate it on your site, you will do that manually and the new translation content will be translated and charged credits again if you use the Automatic Translation later because the new translation is not saved on our server, just on your site.
Ok, thanks for your answer Long, we are going to massively translate everything automatically and then switch then. We are having a small issue at the moment: the strings of the Breadcrumbs (we use Yoast SEO) change every time we update a translation to the language we are working on. As you can see in the image attached, all the other languages changed to "Needs Update" icon. How can I isolate the problem?
