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

Problem:
You are trying to translate a page built with Elementor that includes an Icon List widget and a Button widget, and you want both the text and the link URLs to be translatable. However, in WPML's translation editor, only the text fields appear, and the link URLs do not.
Solution:
We have updated the XML configuration for the Elementor widgets to include fields for link URLs. Here is the updated XML configuration you should use:

    <wpml-config>
        <elementor-widgets>
            <widget name="icon-list">
                <fields-in-item items_of="icon_list">
                    <field type="text" editor_type="LINE">text</field>
                    <field type="LINK" editor_type="LINK" key_of="link">url</field>
                </fields-in-item>
            </widget>
        </elementor-widgets>
    </wpml-config>

Additionally, ensure that internal links are set to be automatically translated. This should allow you to see and translate the link URLs in WPML's translation editor.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hey, not sure what happened. I still can't actually edit the links, however the broken internal links are fixed now.

So we can close the ticket. Thank you!
