This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with your WordPress site where problems occur in the site’s default language and WPML does not alter the content, it might not be related to WPML but to other plugins like Elementor.
Solution:
We recommend reaching out to the author of the Elementor widget or element you are using to display images and text, as the issue might be due to their code. Additionally, ensure that all WPML plugins are updated to the latest version. You can update your WPML plugins to version 4.7.5 by navigating to Plugins → Add New → Commercial tab.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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. If further assistance is needed, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.

1.- This issue doesn't appear to be related to WPML translations, but rather to Elementor itself. As you demonstrated in the video, the problem occurs in the site’s default language, where WPML does not alter the content.

I recommend reaching out to the author of the Elementor widget or element you are using to display the images and text (the ones where you are adding the links), and ask them to review their code.

2.- Please update all WPML plugins to the latest version (4.7.5) by navigating to Plugins → Add New → Commercial tab.

Kind regards,
Carlos
