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

Problem:
The client noticed that some links on their multilingual website still pointed to the old URL after a site migration. This issue was not consistent across all pages.
Solution:
First, we recommended that the client back up the site and update all Elementor plugins to the latest version to ensure compatibility and functionality. After updating, we provided a Custom XML configuration to help correctly translate the links within Elementor widgets. The client should add the following XML configuration to their WPML settings:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="image-box">
      <fields>
       <field>link>url</field>
        <field>title_text</field>
        <field>description_text</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Dear Kor,

The problem has been solved for webdev.studer-innotec.com.
webdev.studer-innotec.com is my development site. Today, I transferred it to the site accessible to our customers. I have the same problem with links, but I will update it as we did for webdev. I will keep you informed if it does not work for this new transfer.
