judithR-10	Hi Bigul, here comes the first issue: hidden link The featured property widget texts are not translated and don't link to the /en/ version. I have added a second featured property version under the original one to test if it works. Thanks, Judith

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hi Judith, Thank you for the updates and login information. Please upgrade to the latest version of the String Translation and WPForms Multilingual plugins after a full site backup {mandatory}. Also, please allow me to install and activate the Multilingual Tools plugin to try a workaround. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multilingual-tools/ -- Thanks! Bigul

judithR-10	I have upgraded everything and made a full backup. Activate Multilingual tools. But would be thankful if everything is fixed now! Both widgets: display widget and featured widget don't link to /en/ version. And text of featured widget isn't translated. prev2.fortis-group.de I started in wpml settings the option going through all links as well but nothing changed. Attached you see all three widgets on home page which don't link correctly.

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. Please visit the following Advanced Translation Editor URL (the English translation of the Homepage). hidden link Then search for the links and translate them. After that check whether you are getting the expected results in the frontend or not. Refer to the attached images for more details. -- Thanks! Bigul

judithR-10	Sorry, but this doesn't help, because in the advanced editor are no links of the widgets which I want to link correctly to the /en version.

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hi Judith, Thank you for the updates. Please consider a staging/dev site (a clone copy of hidden link) for us. Becuase this requires further testing. Thank you for being so understanding. -- Thanks! Bigul

judithR-10	That's what wpresidence theme answered: ---> I do not know the solution. But I can explain how it works WPML translates posts as new posts - each translation has an ID The widget uses ID Why not use the ID by language in each page by using elementor editor? ID - 160 in German hidden link ID 98506 in English hidden link I think these are the 2 pages with direct link in elementor Default language - german hidden link English version - 2nd language hidden link I simply edited the featured property widget with the ID from english translation and works hidden link Repeat the same for categories. Select the names of the categories from English translation. >>>>>Ask WPML what is their help o edit the English version of the homepage and add different IDs to featured property and how to select different categories (the english ones) for categories and if doing the above is enough. In theme - The ID is added in Property ID field hidden link Each category is manually selected hidden link So by being able to add the correct categories and property ID by language, that is all that should be done I do not know how Elementor based pages are translated now in WPML to be able to add different widgets to each and if they have specific setup. Please ask them to help be 100% sure and maybe by using the functionality of the widgets, they can offer the rest of the steps (if they exist)
