    I cannot access your website at all. Please, provide a working link.

    Hi Dennis, it is accessible, you just have to click on “accept the risk”, because we don’t have ssl on the website yet, it is just a stage website, if you try to use Mozilla Firefox, it will work. Please try again.

    Hi Dennis,

    I have changed the domain now, it is on this: https://diamant-polymer.de/

    now, the Product categories are not linking to their translation, but they just get random linking, sometimes to news.
    for example:
    https://diamant-polymer.de/produkte/dichtol/

    should link to: https://diamant-polymer.de/en/products/dichtol/

    instead it is linking to: https://diamant-polymer.de/en/produkte/dichtol/

    Although in the permalink for the english website I have the Kategorie-Basis Produkte set to: products
    and in the German website it is set to: produkte

    Please, go first into the permalinks section of the sites. This will automatically refresh them. You don’t need to click on anything for that…

    I’ve had the same problem. This PHP snippet resolved it for me. Change language data for your case.

    /**
 * @param string $postlink
 * @param string $language
 * @return string
 */
function my_msls_options_get_permalink( $url, $language ) {
    if ( 'sr_RS' == $language ) {
        $url = str_replace( '/product/', '/proizvod/', $url );
		$url = str_replace( '/products/', '/proizvodi/', $url );
    }
	if ( 'en_US' == $language ) {
        $url = str_replace( '/proizvod/', '/product/', $url );
		$url = str_replace( '/proizvodi/', '/products/', $url );
    }
    return $url;
}
add_filter( 'msls_options_get_permalink', 'my_msls_options_get_permalink', 10, 2 );

    Hope it helps.
    Best regards,
    Goran

    Thanks @goran63!

    You can, whenever you have to deal with translated slugs, override it by using the filter “msls_options_get_permalink”. There is also some example code in this page: https://msls.co/developer-docs/hook-reference/

    Thanks @realloc , thanks @goran63
    it worked only for the products category, for the normal wordpress categories like news and presse-releases, it didn’t work, as the language switcher doesn’t even get the link to the other category.

    for example these links:
    https://diamant-polymer.de/aktuelles/
    https://diamant-polymer.de/presse/

    they should link to:
    https://diamant-polymer.de/en/news/
    https://diamant-polymer.de/en/press-releases/

    But instead, they both link to the homepage of the other language.

    This is the code i used now:
    function my_msls_options_get_permalink( $url, $language ) {
    if ( ‘de_DE_formal’ == $language ) {
    $url = str_replace( ‘/products/’, ‘/produkte/’, $url );
    $url = str_replace( ‘/news/’, ‘/aktuelles/’, $url );
    $url = str_replace( ‘/press-releases/’, ‘/presse/’, $url );
    }
    if ( ‘en_US’ == $language ) {
    $url = str_replace( ‘/produkte/’, ‘/products/’, $url );
    $url = str_replace( ‘/aktuelles/’, ‘/news/’, $url );
    $url = str_replace( ‘/presse/’, ‘/press-releases/’, $url );
    }
    return $url;
    }
    add_filter( ‘msls_options_get_permalink’, ‘my_msls_options_get_permalink’, 10, 2 );

    Your code works for me also for the connection between presse and presse-release.

    BTW there should be no problem if those categories are connected. Let’s take a simple example (there is no result but it renders the idea):

    https://msls.co/category/general/ links to https://msls.co/de/category/allgemein/ and vice versa

    Hi Dennis,

    They are connected: (see screenshot)

    but in the frontend, if you hover on the language switcher, you will see that the link goes to the homepage, it acts like they are not linked: ( see screenshot)

    But they look also wiered because they also have no slug. A category has normally category as a slug, like tag for the tags. They seem pages that are not connected.

    no, the slug is removed with options from Yoast SEO plugin.

    I don’t know why yet, but it seems that there is a conflict between this plugin and WooCommerce on our website, which affect the regular WordPress categories, if i disable Woocommerce on these pages, the language switcher work fine, so any idea how i can solve this without disabling Woocommerce?

    Thank you for all the valuable input. I’m currently working on some fixes. You can find more information at https://github.com/lloc/Multisite-Language-Switcher/
