I'm working with the theme Uncode. Primary language is German, second language is English.
When translating pages to English some buttons from the WPBakery Page Builder won't show up in the WPML translation editor at all. Or only the title, but not the link can be translated.
To assist you better, could you please tell me which WPBakery button widget/extension you've used on the page? I suggest adding the button to a new page and trying the XML code you've attempted again. Then, try translating the page and let me know if the Button text and link appear for translation.
After I added the XML Code, I continued to test with a new page. In the newly created page, I added two buttons from the WPBakery Page Builder. See screenshot 01: hidden link
When translating the new page, the same problem occured. The buttons show up, but I can't translate the url. See screenshot 02: hidden link
It's weird because sometimes the button can be fully translated. Sometimes it only shows the title, and sometimes it does not even appear in the translation editor.

Good morning! I'm having trouble accessing your website. I'd be happy to help, but the username or password you provided seems incorrect.
Could you please double-check your login credentials and try again? You may need to reset your password. Once you've done that, please send me the new password so I can access your website and assist you further.
Good morning! I hope you're having a fantastic day.
Your XML code is working perfectly fine. When you use custom XML code to translate a button URL or link, the button URL won't be available in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) by default.
You'll need to search for the URL within the ATE, and then the URL will appear for translation. You can check out this screen recording that shows how I've translated the two button URLs: hidden link
I hope this helps. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.
Good Evening 🙂 Thanks for your reply and the video.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to find any URL on my existing pages.
Can you please try again with the front-page "Home"?
If you use an internal link, which is a link from one page on your website to another page on your website, WPML will automatically translate the link if the content it's linking to is already translated.
For instance, if you link your "Contact Us" page from the homepage, and the "Contact Us" page is already translated, the URL for the "Contact Us" page will automatically translate from the homepage.
Additionally, you can manually adjust links in posts and strings to ensure they point to the translated content from the WPML settings. To do this, navigate to WPML > Settings > Translate Link Targets.
I hope this explanation helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, Faisal, for the further explanations. I will follow up on this topic in about two weeks, as I'm now just before the launch date of another project. You'll hear from me, if I need further assistance. Regards, Dario
