Anchor link in menu doesn't work for WPML translated page

Hi there!

I have the following problem.

My website has two languages. The original language is Dutch, the translated pages are in English. I work with the WPML plugin.

The homepage has 1 anchor link (#contact), which is used in the main menu (‘Contact’). When on the Dutch homepage, scrolling to this section happens via the anchor link ‘#contact’ in the menu-item ‘Contact’. Then the homepage scrolls to the contact-section.

When coming from a subpage, I use a seperate subpage-menu to make jumping to the home page anchor link possible. The custom Menu-link looks like this in the dutch version: https://website.nl/#contact

This all works fine for the Dutch subpages and original URL’s. But the problem occurs when I want to apply the same method to the English homepage and subpages: linking to the anchor #contact from the homewage menu as well as the subpage menu doesn’t work. The link URLs from English subpages to the (English) homepage anchor looks like this: https://website.nl/en/#contact
Unfortunately, nothing happens when this anchor link is referred to.

So, the question is: how can I get the page anchor-link working in the subpage menu of the English website version?

Could you please help me out with this? Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Michiel
