 * Hi,
 * I use a custom permalink structure:
    `/%postname%` without a trailing slash. 
   But I get a problem on several pages using the “?lang=en” method for generating
   the translation links.
 * It would be nice if you could check if the function
    `get_option('permalink_structure')`
   returns a string with a trailing slash or not and append only a slash to the 
   URL if neccessary.
 * Currently I have changed the file
    `frontend\utils.php` so I can use the plugin.
 * Best regards
    Nils

 * Hi,
 * I modified the function “cml_get_the_link()” in the file “frontend\utils.php”.
   Just replace “return $link;” with this code:
 *     ```
       // Get the last character from the permalink structure definition
         $permalink_structure = get_option('permalink_structure');
         if ( $permalink_structure !== '' ) {
           if ( substr( $permalink_structure, -1 ) != '/' ) {
             $link = untrailingslashit( $link );
           }
         }
   
         return $link;
       ```
   
 * Hope this is ok. 😉
 * Regards
    Nils
