All issues in which we had to help clients with Elementor Custom Widgets either because they wanted to create one, or (more likely) when related to themes that have Elementor Custom Widgets integrated. Add whether you helped, sent to docs or escalated.
Problem: The client is trying to ensure that links on their sub-language website automatically include the URL for the sub-language version. They are using the Themex Pro Addon for the Consalt Theme, which lacks a wpml-config.xml file for making its widgets translatable with WPML. Specifically, the Team widget on the homepage does not automatically include the URL for the sub-language version, causing redirection to the main language version.
Solution: We modified the existing WPML custom XML configuration for the Team widget to include link fields, ensuring they are translatable. After updating the configuration, we edited the Title Link and Social Icon Link of the Team widget on the original homepage, saved the page, and updated the translation. This resolved the issue. We recommend informing the theme author about the need for a proper WPML configuration and suggest using the Multilingual Tools plugin for creating extensive configurations.
Additionally, some custom fields on the site were incorrectly set to be translatable. We advised checking these settings under WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation and adjusting them as necessary.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
Problem: You are using WPML to manage translations on your site and have encountered an issue where the internal button link does not update in the translated versions of your posts. You have changed the internal button link on the original website, but it remains unchanged in the translations. Solution: We recommend adjusting the link translations within the Advanced Translation Editor. If the URLs have been previously translated using the WPML Translation Editor, the translations are saved in the translation memory, requiring you to overwrite these entries.

Problema: Estás utilizando un tema con elementos personalizados en tu sitio web y al intentar traducir la página de inicio con WPML, no puedes encontrar las cadenas dentro de estos elementos personalizados. Además, una sección dentro de la página de Elementor no se detecta para traducción. Solución: Si estás enfrentando este problema, es probable que los widgets de Elementor que no se traducen provengan del tema Winwood. Para solucionar esto, necesitas generar un código XML que te permitirá traducir esos widgets. Hemos preparado un video que muestra cómo hacerlo, que puedes ver aquí: https://komododecks.com/recordings/JABhmu0orF9kAzep6UsC Además, te recomendamos seguir esta documentación para registrar los widgets personalizados de Elementor para su traducción: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/
