Problem:
The client is trying to translate their site to German, including webpage links that should redirect to other German-translated pages. However, the buttons and in-text links still point to the original pages instead of the translated ones. The issue involves Elementor content and a custom widget from Element Pack Pro.
Solution:
1. For links appearing in WPML > String Translation but not applying on the live site, ensure to manually translate them using the WPML Translation Editor. Use the search bar in the translation editor to find links by typing "http".
2. For content created with Element Pack Pro, such as Advanced Icon Boxes, a translation of links seems currently not possible, The author would need to adapt the XML configuration for such widgets to make it translatable. If you run into such an issue, please reach out to us and we will assist you on this matter.
3. Generally, if Elementor content does not appear in the WPML Translation Editor, you might need to create a custom XML configuration to ensure that Elementor widgets are properly registered for translation. You can find guidance on this at https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/.
