Translation of Button Links (HREF)

Rambi

I am using betheme together with the WPML plugin. It is working well so far but had trouble translating the links (href) of a button component. With the default config in WPML is was only translating the button title but not the button link.

Now I found a option to fix this. I added a custom xml config inside of WPML > Setting. It's basically the part of the default wpmfl-config.xml in the betheme theme folder. But  I added the <key name="link"/> at the same level like <key name="button_title"/> or <key name="title"/>.

Afterwards the translation part with 'field-mfn-page-items-0-0-wraps-1-items-2-fields-link' is displayed. That is what I was trying to achieve.

Is this the right approach or is there another way that this is supposed to be done?

Also the automatic link replacement works with neither of the solutions.

This is the config: 

<wpml-config>

<custom-fields-texts>

<key name="mfn-page-items">

<key name="*">

<key name="attr">

<key name="title"/>

</key>

<key name="wraps">

<key name="*">

<key name="items">

<key name="*">

<key name="fields">

<key name="address"/>

<key name="alt"/>

<key name="btn_text"/>

<key name="button_title"/>

<key name="blockquote"/>

<key name="caption"/>

<key name="content"/>

<key name="content1"/>

<key name="content2"/>

<key name="heading"/>

<key name="label"/>

<key name="link_title"/>

<key name="period"/>

<key name="prefix"/>

<key name="slogan"/>

<key name="title"/>

<key name="link"/>      THIS IS NEW

<key name="title1"/>

<key name="title2"/>

<key name="tabs">

<key name="*">

<key name="title"/>

<key name="content"/>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</key>

</custom-fields-texts>

</wpml-config>

Hello Phil,

I was following this guide. 

It also worked so far that the button text would show up in the translation but not the href of the button.

How else would I make it show up?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the instructions. 

I send the details.

Further information: 

I adjusted the WPML config here

https://dezember.co/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpml-translation-management/menu/settings&amp;sm=custom-xml-config

I removed my custom config right now so that you can test to see how it looks without it.

For example I cannot translate the HREF of the button MORE ABOUT US in the beginning of the homepage:

https://dezember.co/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpml-translation-management/menu/translations-queue.php&amp;return_url=https://dezember.co/wp-admin/post.php?post=124&action=edit&amp;job_id=70&amp;update_needed=1&amp;trid=2&amp;language_code=en

We tested it and indeed, the quick translation does not include that field for WPML, we'll fix it in the next update.

For now, for a workaround, you can select the language on "Pages > All Pages" https://prnt.sc/vbux7y

and then edit your page, there you will be able to change the URL field correctly, as on that page I created:

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the update. I guess I will stick with the adjusted wpml-config until then  

Cheers
