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

Problem:
You are trying to translate menu links in a nested menu created with Elementor, but encounter issues where translations are lost when the header is modified, and automatic scans do not detect these links for translation.
Solution:
First, ensure that links are visible in our translation editor. By default, links might be hidden. You can make them visible by using the search bar at the top left of the editor and searching for "http". This action should allow you to see all links from that page and translate them accordingly. For more details, visit Translating Links with Advanced Translation Editor.
If this does not resolve your issue, we need more information about how the menu was created and translated. Please provide additional details or share screenshots or a short video using loom.com to help us better understand your configuration.

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 the menu links included into a nested menu created with Elementor (see the mega menu for 'shop' in the above site). Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

Symptoms:
Even if I perform an automatic scan I can't translate them. If I translate them manually from WPML string translations, I lose the translated contents when I modify the header.

Questions:
How can I translate the menu links in a nested menu created with Elementor?
Why do I lose the translated contents when I modify the header?

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum.

Please note that, by default, links are hidden in our translation editor. You can find them by using the search bar at the top left of the editor. If you search for "http" you will be able to see all links from that page.

If that doesn’t resolve the issue, could you please provide more details about this menu?
- How was it created?
- How was it translated?
