Hi Joanna,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

To be able to translate the custom post types, you need to set them as "Translatable" in the WPML settings.

Please try this:

1. Go to WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation section
2. Set the portfolio post type to "Translatable"

Kindly check this guide for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-posts/

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Thanks,
I also want in the GR translation to change the link in the portfolio to redirect me to the GR page and not to the EN.
Can I do that or do I need to create different portfolio items for the GR translation?

From what I understand, you're trying to translate the link in your screenshot. If yes, please edit the portfolio item with the translation editor and use the search field to find this link and translate it.

Please check this doc: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/#how-do-i-translate-urls-with-the-advanced-translation-editor
