Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

WPML plugins allow you to translate your site. The functionality you are asking about is not related to the translation of your content, which means that it falls outside of the scope of the WPML plugins.

If you need a custom solution, I'd recommend contacting one of our certified partners at this link: https://wpml.org/contractors/
They will be more than happy to help you with this.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding!
Regards,
Carlos
