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

Problem:
The client's site is large, and launching "Translate Link Targets" for the entire site is time-consuming and potentially risky as it might alter links sitewide without specific control. The client is interested in scanning links only for newly added pages or a small group of pages to enhance speed and security.
Solution:
Currently, WPML does not support the feature to selectively scan only specific pages for translating link targets. The system is designed to automatically translate internal page links if the linked pages have been translated. If for some reason the links are not translated automatically, a full site scan is required. We recommend checking the related known issues and verifying that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this solution does not apply to your case because it might be outdated or not suitable, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

My site is big and launching "Translate Link Targets" takes a VERY LONG time.
In most cases, I add one page or a small group of pages, and I want to scan links only for them:
1) It will be very fast.
2) It is more secure. I don't want to risk that the system will alter links without control sitewide.

Any solution for this?

Thanks,
Erez

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

At the moment, no feature in WPML's user interface allows users to scan only specific pages. WPML is designed to automatically translate internal page links if the linked pages have been translated. However, if the links are not translated automatically by some reason, you would need to perform a scan that will scan all pages.
