Link to Different Page or Edit

    I have a foundation website in English and Thai with an English donation page that ends in domain.org/give. The translation option is set as a menu item. When someone chooses Thai language from the menu it goes to domain.org/th/give
    I could translate everything on that page, but I need the Thai page to have unique giving option content.

    How do I edit domain.org/th/give so that they see different giving options from the English page? Is there a way for me to manually edit that page the way I normally do for pages I create?

    Alternatively, is there a way to make it so that when they click the Thai language option in the menu, it goes to a page I’ve already manually created such as domain.org/givethai ? This would be a work around.

    Thank you.

    Hello there,

    Thank you for letting us know about this!

    TranslatePress does not create new posts for the translated versions of the original post. But the translated versions will have separate URLs. That means every page has a separate URL for each language no matter if that page is translated or not.

    If there`s anything else, please let me know!

    Kind Regards,

    Upon clicking the translate button, is it possible to direct traffic to a page of my choosing instead of the URL the plugin creates? On the majority of my pages, the URL created by the plugin is just fine, but I have a couple pages where simply translating the English text is not sufficient. The Thai language page needs to look different from the English page sometimes.

    For anyone who is beginner/intermediate with this stuff, I figured out how to redirect to a different page. I don’t know if this is the best method or not but it works. This code goes in the text box at the top of my English page. When someone presses the Thai translation button, it now redirects to any page of my choice.

    [trp_language language=”th”]<meta http-equiv=”Refresh” content=”0; url=’ReplaceThisTextWithYourUniqueURL'” />[/trp_language]

    Be sure to go into the Translatepress plugin settings and find out what your language code is. For Thai, I was trying to use “th_TH” because I saw “en_EN” elsewhere. I was supposed to be using just “th.”
