Traslate links

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I translated the content of my site but all links in translated pages still go to the original language. How can I translate these links?

Solution:
The links are added with the basic button widget from Elementor and the links from this widget are translated automatically if the target page is already translated.

The link's issue was fixed by updating the page translation with the following steps:

1. Edit the original page in the default language with the WordPress editor
2. Make a small change then update the page
3. Update the translation

Make a small change then update the page (Added space to the title) 3. Update the translation Please check the links and confirm if it's fixed now.
