wpml_element_link
Get the url for a post type or taxonomy term for the current language

WPML Version: 3.2

Returns a post type link or taxonomy term link in the current language.

* Note: There are alternative ways to retrieve an element’s link which gives developers fuller control over the HTML output.
WordPress offers a number of functions to do this such as get_permalink(), get_term_link(), etc.

If you plan on using functions that require a post type or term ID as a parameter then you may be interested in looking into the wpml_object_id filter.
