Unable to enter different alternative links in translated (WPML) works

edited January 2015 in Blame Posts: 47
Hi Air,
I wish you a happy and succesfull new year!
Question about alternative links in works. On our clients site we use WPML to translate the site from primairy language (Dutch) to secundairy language (English). Our clients works have been translated by WPML. However, when I want to enter an alternative link into the translated (English) work it is not accepted. The alternative link in the translated work is always the same as the original (Dutch) work. I can change the alternative link on the Dutch work, but this also changes the alternative link in the corresponding English one.
Any thouhgts on how to enter different alternative links in both works?
Thanks, Rutger

    Hello there:-)

    In your work in section "Multilingual Content Setup" find "_alt_link" and mark it as "translate" and click "Apply". After this you should be able to make it:-)

    With regards.

    Hi Air, thanks for these directions. I see I haven't installed that module of WPML. I'll install it and I'll let you know if it worked. I'm sure it will though :-)
