Tell us what you are trying to do?
I've a custom posttype with a description and an URL Field. In the ATE I can translate the content but the URL is not visible in the ATE. I have to change the URL because in the translated page it should point to another URL. For example my custom posttype is for downloads. In german I have an URL pointing to the german document download. In the translation to french I have to define the french document (different URL). How can I change this URL manually?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No
Is there a similar example that we can see?
No
What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hi There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support. I will be happy to assist you in this matter.

I understood that you're having some difficulties in translating URLs from Advanced Translation Editor. URLs do not appear in the Advanced Translation Editor like other text content to prevent automatic translation that could potentially cause issues on the site.

But, if you search the URL in ATE, you should find the link and add translation. Kindly check the instructions below to understand the process.

I hope it will help. But, feel free to let me know if you need further assistance in this matter. I will be happy to assist you.

Best Regards,
Prosenjit

I made a mistage. The Custom field was not translateable. So I set it to translate able and now I see it in the ATE 🙂
