This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: You are trying to translate internal links from Swedish to English using WPML, but encounter issues where the links are not automatically translated and are not visible for manual update in the WPML editor. Solution: We recommend following these steps to address the issue: 1. Refer to our guide on translating links: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-links/ 2. If the links still do not appear in the WPML editor, try this: a. Open the page in the Advanced Translation Editor. b. Click on Settings and enable the option to show all links. c. Make a small change to the original page and save it, then revert the change. This action should trigger an update in the translation editor. d. Return to the translation editor to see if the changes are now visible.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate internal links from Swedish to English using WPML. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link
Symptoms:
When translating with WPML, internal links are not translated. Additionally, all internal links are not visible for manual update in the WPML editor.
Questions:
Why are internal links not automatically translated?
Why are all internal links not visible in the WPML editor for manual translation?
Can you give more explanation on how you added those links?
I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
Please give me some examples so that I can check them on the site.
hidden link
Added all links from the original Swedish language. When using Advanced Translation Editor, all links do not appear. Neither are any links automatically updated.
Could you please double-check now the page you mentioned?
Here’s what I did:
1. Opened the page in the Advanced Translation Editor, clicked on Settings, and enabled the option to show all links.
2. Made a small change to the original page and saved it (then reverted the change). This action triggered an update in the translation editor.
3. Returned to the translation editor, where the changes were now visible.
I can see that the links are visible there now. But shouldnt the links be automatically updated? Or do I manually have to find, copy & paste the translated links in tho the Advanced Translation Editor?
Another example of where all the links are not even visible to translate is my global footer: hidden link
We're checking this and will handle it in future releases for some Elementor widgets to convert the links automatically. In the meantime, you can translate them manually in the Advanced Translation Editor.
