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

Problem:
The client was unable to translate the URL attribute of the Avada Title element in WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) due to a missing or incorrect attribute name in the XML configuration.

Solution:
1. We advised the client to add or update the XML configuration for the

fusion_title

shortcode in WPML settings to include the URL attribute. The correct XML block should look like this:

<wpml-config><br />  <custom-fields><br />    <custom-field action="copy">fusion_title</custom-field><br />    <custom-field>title</custom-field><br />    <custom-field>link_url</custom-field><br />  </custom-fields><br /></wpml-config>

2. After saving the XML configuration, the client needed to make a minor edit to the original page and update it to trigger the changes.
3. Reopen the page in ATE and use the Search Source bar to locate the URL field.
4. If the URL field still does not appear, check the page source to confirm the exact attribute name used in the shortcode.

If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.

Hi,
I have a page where there is an avada title element. In the ATE there is no choice to translate it. Where can I find it?

I noticed that it does not translate avada title element on another page too. It seems to be a common issue. Is there any restriction for this?

updated everything.
I still experience the same issue.
I edit this page:
hidden link
There is a tile element in it: 'Alkatrész partnereink megtekintése'
This appears in the ATE however the title's link cannot be translated.

Hi there,
Thank you for your message

In hidden link the text 'Alkatrész partnereink megtekintése' has no link. Please add the link to the text in the original language and update the translation.

Let me know if you were able to translate the URL this time.

Important note: Internal links are usually translated automatically by WPML, which is why you might not find them in ATE when translating content.

In the meantime I was experimenting to find out the root cause in vain. That's why there was no link at the moment you had a look at it.
I put a link on that line and there is the same issue.

Thanks!

I added the missing field to the element registration in WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration tab and updated the translation (to see the link, you must use the search in ATE).

Can you confirm that the issue is solved?
