This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
When using WPML with Elementor, after translating a page to secondary languages, any new text added in the original language and updated in translation causes previously saved button links to revert to the original.
Solution:
To fix this issue, you need to register custom page builder widgets for translation of the Hub theme by Liquid Themes. This involves adjusting the
wpml-config.xml
file in your theme to include the links in the translation process. Here is a step-by-step guide:
1. Check if your Hub theme's by Liquid Themes
wpml-config.xml
file already includes widget translation configurations.
2. Modify the XML configuration to add the button links for translation. For example, add the following field to your button widget configuration:
<field type="Heading: Link URL" editor_type="LINK">link>url</field>
3. For detailed instructions, refer to our documentation on how to register page builder widgets for translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at our support forum.

I went ahead and used the Multilingual Tools plugin to generate an XML config for a few custom Elementor widgets (Liquid button and Liquid content Box from the last page you mentioned). What have I done? 1. Installed Multilingual Tools plugin on your test site. <widget name="ld_button">
<conditions>
<condition key="widgetType">ld_button</condition>
</conditions>
<fields>
<field type="Liquid Button Text" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="ld_content_box">
<conditions>
<condition key="widgetType">ld_content_box</condition>
</conditions>
<fields>
<field type="Liquid Box: Title" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Subtitle" editor_type="LINE">subtitle</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Label" editor_type="LINE">label</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Content" editor_type="LINE">content2</field>
</fields>
</widget>
4. Checked the code generated in Step 2 for widgets and took only the fields for the button link. <field type="Liquid Button Link" editor_type="LINK">link>url</field> and <field type="Liquid Box: Button Link" editor_type="LINK">ib_link>url</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Image Link" editor_type="LINK">img_link>url</field>
5. Added to the existing code and further added the new config for two widgets to WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration. <wpml-config>
<elementor-widgets>
<widget name="ld_button">
<conditions>
<condition key="widgetType">ld_button</condition>
</conditions>
<fields>
<field type="Liquid Button Text" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
<field type="Liquid Button Link" editor_type="LINK">link>url</field>
</fields>
</widget>
<widget name="ld_content_box">
<conditions>
<condition key="widgetType">ld_content_box</condition>
</conditions>
<fields>
<field type="Liquid Box: Title" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Subtitle" editor_type="LINE">subtitle</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Label" editor_type="LINE">label</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Content" editor_type="LINE">content2</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Button Link" editor_type="LINK">ib_link>url</field>
<field type="Liquid Box: Image Link" editor_type="LINK">img_link>url</field>
</fields>
</widget>
</elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>
6. Updated the original pages with the links (Räume and FAQ). I completed the translations, and the links are now converted. If there are some more widgets, you need to handle them on your own.   |

Hi Andrey Thank you for your work. So that means, I should now be able to see these kind of buttons in the advanced translator, right? Because currently, I do not see where I can translate the link.  |
