Hi,

I have footer area on left and right where I have used elementor icons list and I have the links entered in that but when I switch the site to English the links are not translated into englisn.

Is there a way I can manually enter the links to that pages or any alternative methods.

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Could you please try the following steps then check if the links point to the correct pages in your second language?

1. Go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration (tab) and paste this code:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="icon_list">
      <fields>
        <field type="link" editor_type="LINK">link>url</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

2. Press the Save button.

3. Modify the original page. Make a small change and press the Update button.

4. Update the translation via WPML's Advanced Translation Editor.

5. Re-open the translated page and check if it works.

Kind regards,
Mohamed

I've tried that but the widgets am using are in the Elementor Theme Builder footer not on a page.

I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) so I can investigate this issue further.
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –

Hi,

I checked the site and found that the Footer template is not translated yet, you can translate it with the steps mentioned here: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/#translate-elementor-templates

I've already sent it for translation, please go to WPML > Translations and translate the template then check if the issue is resolved.

I also created a screen recording showing how to send your content for translation using WPML's Translation Management: hidden link

Let me know please how that goes.
