Background of the issue:
I'm trying to translate the link for an Elementor button, but the field 'url' doesn't show up in the editor.

Also, as mentioned by someone else last August (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/negative-feedback-on-the-new-advanced-editor/), the French editor says 'Economiser' instead of 'Enregistrer' (save).

Symptoms:
No place to edit the Elementor button link.

A save button in the Advanced editor that doesn't make sense and is counterintuitive for the users/translators.

Questions:
How can I translate the URL for an Elementor button in the advanced editor?
Can the translation of the save button in the advanced French editor be improved from 'Economiser' to 'Enregistrer'?

Hi There!
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand what you're looking for. Since you've added a link to the Elementor button, the link won't appear directly within the segment. To find the link, search for "http" in the translation editor. This should display the link. Please refer to the guide below for a clearer understanding.

- https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/

I hope you can understand.

The Save button in the translation editor is mainly used to ensure your progress is retained while working on a translation. Each text block, referred to as a "segment," can be saved individually as you translate. This action temporarily stores the segment's translation, even if the entire document is not completed. I hope you can understand the importance of the Save button.

Thank you for your suggestion regarding changing the button name. We will consult with the user experience team and make the update if it receives approval.

Feel free to let me know if there is anything else you need help with. I'll be happy to assist.

Best regards,
Prosenjit

Thank you for the quick reply!

Ok, I can change the URL when typing http in the search box. But how can our collaborator find it? Could you improve the UI so we can Hide/Show URLs?

For the translation of the Save button, I don't think you understand the issue. It's not a matter of "user experience", it's the French translation that is wrong. In French, "Économiser" means "Economize". What if the English button said "Economize" instead of "Save", you would fix that term. So please, ask your team to replace the term "Economiser" but "Enregistrer".

Thanks!

Hi There!
I hope you're doing well. Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend.

I understand your concern. Regarding translating URLs or links, we recommend referring to this guide for a detailed explanation of the process. URLs are not displayed in the translation list because automatic translation can translate critical links that could impact the accuracy of the translation.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are actively working on enhancing the UI of the ATE, and we hope to simplify the process of translating URLs directly from the editor in the future. I’ll also request the team to review the French translation of the Save button in the editor and update it as needed.

Feel free to reach us if you have any other queries or need assistance with our plugins. We will be happy to help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
