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

Problem:
The client was unable to save translations in the Advanced Translation Editor when using markers, and encountered errors. Additionally, there were issues with incorrect anchor links and missing icons in the translations.
Solution:
We modified the HTML structure to ensure compatibility with the Advanced Translation Editor. Here is the corrected code:

<ul>
  <li>Durée : <time datetime="01:00">01:00</time></li>
  <li>Animation : FR / NL</li>
  <li>Un groupe est composé de 15 personnes minimum</li>
  <li><a href="/info/#horaires"><strong>Horaire</strong></a></li>
  <li><a href="/info/#tarifs-groupes"><strong>Tarif</strong></a></li>
  <li>
    Réservation obligatoire pendant les heures de bureau :
    <div>
      <a href="tel:+3260391500" aria-label="Appeler le +32 60 39 15 00">
        <i class="fa fa-phone" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        <strong>+32 60 39 15 00</strong>
      </a>
    </div>
    <div>
      <a href="/contact/#contact" aria-label="Page de contact">
        <i class="fa fa-envelope" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        <strong>Contact</strong>
      </a>
    </div>
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>
      <a href="https://espacemasson.be/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/conditions_generales_reservations_groupes.pdf" 
         target="_blank" rel="noopener">
        Conditions générales pour les réservations de groupes
      </a>
    </strong>
  </li>
</ul>

It seems l encounter more than one issue after wpml update.
Multilingual Tools has been added?

The most urgent issue to solve is the fact that I do not see the link (url) on an icon in de changed translation editor for hidden link and they point to the original page instead of the translated page.

The items to translate in the editor for this page
hidden link
are not the same as before. Before updating the translation of the url on the icon was in it but dit not pointed correct.

I do not see how to configure the string translation to see the link and change it.

Thanks for your reply.

The update should not cause issues like you mentioned. But let me check on it and I've split the ticket here https://wpml.org/forums/topic/links-on-the-translated-page-points-to-the-primary-language/ so that we could follow up.

As for the "Multilingual Tools" plugin, I've used it to register Elementor widgets as explained here https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/
