Problem: You are working on a site using WPML to manage translations and have encountered an issue where internal button links do not update in the translated versions of the site. Despite changing the link in the original language, the translated versions retain the old links. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking and adjusting the WPML settings for translating URLs. Specifically, you should ensure that the 'Translate link targets' option is enabled in WPML -> Languages. This setting helps in updating links within the translated content to match the respective language versions. Additionally, verify that the translations for each post are complete and that the URLs within these posts are correctly translated. Sometimes, manual adjustments in the WPML Translation Editor might be necessary to ensure all links reflect the changes. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, or if it does not apply to your specific case, please visit our support forum to open a new support ticket.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.
Problem: You are using WPML to manage translations on your site and have encountered an issue where the internal button link does not update in the translated versions of your posts. You have changed the internal button link on the original website, but it remains unchanged in the translations. Solution: We recommend adjusting the link translations within the Advanced Translation Editor. If the URLs have been previously translated using the WPML Translation Editor, the translations are saved in the translation memory, requiring you to overwrite these entries.
Please note that this solution might not be relevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your specific case.

Problem: The client reported multiple issues related to WPML on their multilingual website, including untranslated category links, issues with the Amelia and Stylish Price List plugins, and pages that were not translated correctly. Solution: 1. For untranslated category links, we advised the client to navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Taxonomy Translation, set 'Categories (category)' to 'Translatable - only show translated items', and save the changes. This adjustment allows for the translation of categories, which can be done under WPML -> Taxonomy Translation. More details can be found in our guide: Translating Post Categories and Custom Taxonomies.
2. Regarding the Amelia Plugin, it is not officially compatible with WPML. We suggested checking the plugin author's advice for translating strings or considering an alternative plugin that is compatible with WPML. Compatible plugins can be explored here: Booking Functionality Plugins.
3. For the Stylish Price List plugin, which is also not compatible with WPML, we recommended using WPML's String Translation to search and translate the plugin's strings if available. If strings are not found, the client should refer to our guide on finding unlisted strings: Finding Strings that Don't Appear on the String Translation Page.
4. For the issue of pages not being translated, we requested more specific details about the pages that are stuck.
5. If the client wants to set up a multilingual website for international exposure, we suggested verifying the Language URL format settings, specifically considering 'A different domain per language'. More information is available here: How to Use WPML with Different Domains Per Language.
