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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where text links created with the Avada theme link to the original language instead of the translation, despite the pages being translated with the WPML Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). This issue does not affect button links.

Solution:
We recommend checking the translation of the home page in ATE and searching for the URL to translate it manually. For automatic translation of internal URLs in Avada element titles, we suggest adding the following custom XML configuration code:

<wpml-config>
  <shortcodes>
    <shortcode>
      <tag>fusion_title</tag>
      <attributes>
        <attribute type="link">link_url</attribute>
      </attributes>
    </shortcode>
  </shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

After adding the code to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab, edit the homepage in the Dutch language and click on Update to refresh the translation. For further guidance, refer to the following documentation:

Hello Kor, I have one more issue to report. All text links created with Avada seem to link to the original language, instead of to the translation. Strangely, button links don't behave this way. The pages were translated with the WPML advanced editor. You can see an example on the home page, but it happens on all pages where I've created regular links with the Avada title element.

Hi Friso,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

By default, the URL is hidden in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). You can edit the translation home page in ATE > Search for the URL and translate it.

If you want to translate the internal URL of the Avada element Title automatically, please add the custom XML configuration code below to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab.

<wpml-config>
  <shortcodes>
    <shortcode>
      <tag>fusion_title</tag>
      <attributes>
        <attribute type="link">link_url</attribute>
      </attributes>
    </shortcode>
  </shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

Then edit the homepage in the Dutch language > Just click on Update > Update the translation. Let me know if it helps.
