URLs for non default langauges broken
-
I have a paid license and I sent a support request over 24h ago. I did not hear back, and now we are heading to the weekend. I am not happy.
The problem: it is impossible to use Translatepress on my WooCommerce site because the URLs that result from translation are incorrect pointing to hitherto invisible pages. The SEO plugin ignores the WooCommerce site taxonomy and skips product-categories/ and products/ when making a translated URL.
This also means that it is impossible to manually translate any WooCommerce page/product. When I try to do so, I get a 404 in a translated langauge.
I really need some help here, and I need it quickly. The site is live, I am using the paid DeepL subscription and I need this to work, quickly. Please.

OK I did some more work on this. The problem is that TranslatePress translates the URL entirely, not just the final product name and that means that on dynamic pages from WooCommerce they no longer point anywhere.
Translatepress (in my setup) only works correctly in Japanese as the taxonomy is not translated. All other languages fail with a 404 or with often bizarrely incorrect page showing up
For example;
DE translated ‘product’ into ‘produkt’ URL gives 404: https://www.venn-cycling.com/de/index.php/produkt/venn-var-37-tcd-filament-wickel-schlauchlos-clincher-scheibenbrems-scheibenbremsen-sonderrader
Manually edited link (replaced ‘produkt’ with ‘product’) showing DE translated content, intact taxonomy: https://www.venn-cycling.com/de/index.php/product/venn-var-37-tcd-filament-wickel-schlauchlos-clincher-scheibenbrems-scheibenbremsen-sonderrader
I call this a bug, and a significant one. It entirely breaks the intent and functionality of the plugin.
Furthermore I could not find any option to make it stop translating URLs. Unticking “Automatically translate slugs” makes no difference to the appearance or function of the URLs.
