Translate Press auto translate link issue

Problem

When using automatic translation via Google Translate in TranslatePress, telephone links like:

<a href="tel:+15846548545">+1 (584) 654-8545</a>

...are being incorrectly translated into other languages like this:

<a href="тел:+15846548545">+1 (584) 654-8545</a>

Solution

To fix this, you need to manually remove incorrect translations from the translation dictionary stored in the WordPress database.

Step 1: Connect to the database

Log in to your database using a tool like phpMyAdmin or the MySQL command line.

Look for tables with names like:

trp_dictionary_en_us_bg_bg

This table contains translations from English (en_US) to Bulgarian (bg_BG). Each language pair has its own table.

Step 2: Search for the incorrect translation

In the translated column of this table, search for entries containing:

тел:

Or you can search for the full string:

тел:+15846548545

Once found, delete the affected row to remove the incorrect translation from the dictionary.

Step 3: Repeat for other languages

Repeat the same process for each translation table corresponding to other languages configured in TranslatePress.

Optional Tips

• Make a backup of your database before making any changes.
• Consider disabling automatic translation for specific content types to prevent similar issues in the future.
