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. I've added the custom XML configuration below into WPML > Settings > Custom XML configuration and you should be able to translate the links now as shown in the attached screenshot. 

<wpml-config>
  <shortcodes>
    <shortcode>
      <tag>et_pb_video</tag>
      <attributes>
        <attribute type="link">src</attribute>
      </attributes>
    </shortcode>
  </shortcodes>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="icon">
      <fields>      
        <field>link>url</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

Hello,
If I inspect the icon it seems like it is the correct url, /school-eertijds/, and still it is falling back to the default page. I used the old and secondely the new editor.

Thanks for your reply.

As I've mentioned earlier, you need to translate the links using the Advanced Translation Editor. I've recorded a screen recording for your reference hidden link

I had in the editor the url /school-eertijds/ and changed it into /nl/te-doen/school-eertijds/ to translate /ecole-autrefois/
So I always have to give an url with adding for example /nl/te-doen/...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's the correct way to translate custom links.
