Background of the issue:
I have a multilingual website created with WordPress and Elementor, and I use the WPML plugin to manage translations. I need assistance with translating or modifying external links (URLs) within text when using WPML in combination with WordPress and Elementor. Links in the default language (Dutch) should redirect to different URLs for the other language versions.

Symptoms:
I cannot find any option within the WPML translation editor to edit or replace these external links specifically.

Questions:
How can I translate or modify external links in the WPML Translation Editor?
Is there a way to redirect links to different URLs for different language versions using WPML?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to WPML support. I’m here to assist you with this issue.

Could you try searching for the links in the Advanced Translation Editor to see if they appear there?

How are the links being added? If they’re coming from custom widgets, they’ll need to be set as translatable through a configuration file. You can find more details here: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/registering-custom-elementor-widgets-for-translation/.

Further, To help you further on this issue, I would need further information, so could you please go to WPML > Support > Debug Information and give me the information in the next reply. You can read the detailed instruction here: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

I look forward to your response.

Thank you!
