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

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with content not appearing for translation in WPML's Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) after updating their website.

Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1. Edit the content in the original language (Greek).
2. Make a small change to the content.
3. Save the changes.
4. Update the translation.

We identified that the theme or another plugin had registered several custom Elementor elements but did not generate the Language Configuration File, which is necessary for WPML to read them. We provided the client with the code to register all the elements we had already registered for them, which can be found in WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration tab. Additionally, we provided a link to our documentation on how to register custom Elementor elements for translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If you're still experiencing issues, 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 with us.

Hi,

1.- Regarding the links, I will need you to be more specific because I don't quite understand what do you mean.

2.- I've fixed the three pages you mentioned. Could you describe the steps to edit the header in the original language?

Hello,

1- Attached are screenshots of every field with a link that is not translated, each of which name gives the page you can locate it.

2- Thank you!!
The steps to edit the breadcrumb is just enabling it through page edit and it retrieves the image set in the poket theme options (I have attached screenshots for these steps). Additionally, I've attached a screenshot of the breadcrumb area, which is deleted in all translated pages (this area is included in all pages except the home page).

Hi,

1.- Regarding the links, I recommend you to:
- Edit the pages in the original language
- Make a small change to the links, like removing the last slash
- Save the changes
- Follow these steps: https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/

2.- Regarding the breadcrumb: I kindly ask you to open a new ticket or chat and describe step-by-step how to reproduce the issue so we can focus on that different problem.

Hello,

I followed the steps regarding the links, edited them in the translation editor, saved the changes, and then clicked 'complete.' However, the error we have mentioned earlier in this ticket reappeared. I'm unable to resolve it this time. I have attached the relevant screenshots.

Hi,

I recommend you to:
- Update Elementor: hidden link
- Edit the page in the original language -> Make a small change to the link or use the dynamic option to select the link target -> Save the changes and update the translation
- If the issue persists, then the fastest way to adjust the links will be to manually edit the page in the secondary language and update the links.

Hello,

Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, the issue still persists. I will proceed with trying the last available option.

Regarding the Breadcrumb image, could you kindly open the relevant ticket before closing this ticket.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm sorry, I missed the breadcrumb issue.

To show/translate the breadcrumb area I recommend you follow these steps:
- Create a full backup of the site
- Go to hidden link (make sure is in Greek) -> Export the theme options
- Switch to English -> Import the options
- You can also search the breadcrumb options in the Admin Text area by following the steps described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/
