Tell us what you are trying to do?
=> Translate a link on an image or a button (https://wpml.org/fr for french, https://wpml.org/ for English for example)

Is there any documentation that you are following?
=> https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/#translating-buttons

Is there a similar example that we can see?
=> hidden link
It is a sample basic website with only Elementor and WPML installed and I can't figure how to translate these links. They don't appear in translation editor. Did I miss something ?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

1) Please use the search field to search for the URL. Kindly check our guide about translating URLs in the advanced translation editor. (https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/)

2) It's not related to the issue, but according to your Debug.info, the WP memory limit needs to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress uses 40Mb as default. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/)

You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Best regards,
Osama

Thank you, indeed with search I can see the link.

But I think it would better than external links appear by default in Translation Editor like the button documentation suggests.
