Background of the issue:
I'm trying to translate all link targets on my website using WPML. Additionally, I need to sync all the items on my menu.
Symptoms:
WPML says 'Error! Reload the page and try again' when translating link targets. I also encounter a 504 timeout error when syncing menu items, even after increasing the timeout limit to 2 hours.
Questions:
Is there a way to translate link targets via code?
Is there a way to sync menu items via code?
I have access to the server so I can change the time to whatever value I have too. Is there a recommendation from your side that I can change it too. I had one time running the server with 2h and it wasn't enough
That is why I asked if there was a way to do this outside the backend and do it via a cron job for example

Honestly, this is the biggest amount of internal links I have seen so far and I can not tell how long the dialog would need to run. I know that this dialog can demand a lot of time, but maybe we should check if an error will be logged while the dialog is running.
If 2 hours were not enough in the past, maybe try setting the limit even higher.
What I can offer is to take a look at the affected original contents and their translations and run some tests, if you provide me admin access and links to example contents.
Also, if you provide me admin access I can enable WP DEBUG and check for errors but please make sure first to set the time limit in PHP to a significantly higher value.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further.
You can find the required fields below the comments section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.
IMPORTANT
Please be sure to back up your website and database before granting us access.
If you can't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your post and website credentials will be set to "PUBLIC." DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.
I may need to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to create a copy of the website so I can investigate the issue further on a virtual server for comparison.
