Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the product slugs and the URLs on page content using WPML. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link. I expected to be able to edit the slug in the Advanced Translation Editor.

Symptoms:
I don't see the input to edit the product slug or the rest of the inputs with the URLs that are in the page content.

Questions:
How can I edit the product slug in the Advanced Translation Editor?
Why are the inputs for editing URLs in the page content not visible?
