Background of the issue:
I am trying to use WPML to have a different video URL in the English version of my site, hidden link. I am using the Elementor video widget for this purpose.

Symptoms:
The Elementor video widget URL is not displayed in the WPML translation editor, making the video widget 'invisible' in the translation.

Questions:
Why is the Elementor video widget URL not showing in the WPML translation editor?
How can I make the video widget visible in the translation editor to change the URL?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

Please try next:

- go to WPML > Settings > Custom XML and add next code

<wpml-config>
<elementor-widgets>
<widget name="video">
<conditions>
<condition key="widgetType">video</condition>
</conditions>
<fields>
<field type="Video: Youtube URL" editor_type="LINK">youtube_url</field>
<field type="Video: Vimeo URL" editor_type="LINK">vimeo_url</field>
<field type="Video: DailyMotion URL" editor_type="LINK">dailymotion_url</field>
<field type="Video: Self hosted" editor_type="LINK" key_of="hosted_url">url</field>
</fields>
</widget>
</elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

- make a small change to the default language page and save
- re-translate, URL should appear there and if not, use top search bar to try and search it.

Regards,
Drazen

I solved it using string translation. But somehow I feel Elementor should be fully WPML compatible which would mean that every aspect of their widget should be visible in the translater..
Thank you
