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

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with their multilingual WordPress site using WPML and Elementor. Specifically, links on buttons were not redirecting to the correct language-specific product pages, and images were not displaying on the German version of the site.
Solution:
1. We advised the client to manually translate custom links as described in our documentation on how to translate links.
2. To address the translation issues, we edited the primary language page and retranslated the page using the Advanced Translation Editor.
3. For the images not displaying, we re-saved and retranslated the product, ensuring that images were correctly linked and displayed in the translated version.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I installed and translated my site using WPML. I am using WordPress and Elementor. My site is hidden link.

Symptoms:
Links through buttons do not go to the correct URL. When I choose German in the language switcher, the current page gets translated, but clicking on a button to a product page takes me to the Swedish product page instead of the German one. Additionally, pictures do not show on the German page: hidden link compared to the Swedish one: hidden link.

Questions:
Why do the links through buttons not redirect to the correct language-specific product page?
Why are the pictures not showing on the German page?

Thanks for your reply. I needed to make some edits to the page title so that the Advanced Translation Editor rescan the page. Now it works as shown in this screen recording hidden link

Could you check?
