The client is trying to correct some links in the footer of their website after translating the footer. They edited these links in the original Greek language, but the changes did not reflect in the English translation.

If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps:
1. Make a small change in the footer to trigger the need for translation.
2. Navigate to WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Translation Management.
3. Send the footer for translation and select yourself as the translator.
4. Go to WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Translations.
5. Click the Translate button next to the footer in the table.
6. You will see the Advanced Translation Editor, which shows all the content of the original language on the left and the translated content on the right.
7. Try to find the links there and edit the translation as needed. If you cannot find it, use the search bar at the top to search for the link.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to correct some links in the footer of my website hidden link. After translating the footer, I found that some links are incorrect. I edited these links in the original Greek language, but the changes did not reflect in the English translation.

Symptoms:
The changes made to the links in the original language did not affect the English translation.

Questions:
Is it safe to delete the initial translation and then translate it again?
How can I edit the links in the translated page?
