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

Problem:
You are trying to ensure that all links on your homepage are available in the WPML Translation Editor and want to deactivate automatic translation to handle translations manually. However, not all links, such as the 'Fragen' button, are showing up in the Translation Editor.
Solution:
To make all links available for translation and manage them manually, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration.
2. Add the following code to include Elementor widgets like buttons and headings for translation:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="button">
      <fields>
        <field type="Button Text" editor_type="LINE">text</field>
        <field type="Button: Link URL" editor_type="LINE">link>url</field>
        <field type="Button: Custom Attributes" editor_type="LINE">link>custom_attributes</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
	<widget name="heading">
      <fields>
        <field type="Heading" editor_type="LINE">title</field>
        <field type="Heading: Link URL" editor_type="LINE">link>url</field>
        <field type="Heading: Custom Attributes" editor_type="LINE">link>custom_attributes</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

3. Make a minor change (like adding an empty space) to the original footer or any page you want to translate the link and save it so WPML sees the translation needs an update.
4. Edit the translation, and the links will be available for translation.

Sure thing, I can take a look in there.

Are you referring to hidden link? Or is it a different URL?

I tried accessing it using the old details but I get a wrong user/password error.

I'm enabling the private fields in case you need to share confidential data with me.

Thank you, please let me know.

Hi there,

Thank you for resetting the password.

I was able to login and to apply the changes in the staging site as well.

Please check the screenshots I'm attaching, they're for the footer, home page and join us pages respectively.

I hope it is OK for us to mark here as resolved.
