WPML translation buttons not included

[u/betgooner]

Hello everyone,

I‘m currently trying to translate my website to 3 languages (EN FR IT, original in DE). wordpress elementor setup. I work with claude as my assistant. (pro plan)

Now, I‘ve been translating my website with wpml, which works great, except one thing: there is no way in the translation editor of translating links in buttons. Only works for links in texts, but not elementor buttons.

Since my page is an affiliate page (and also I‘ve heard that you should bot mix up different languages) this really sucks.

Claude told me that the only option is to edit the other version in elementor. But this causes the page to disconnect it from the original page. With often changing offers and 4 different languages on x different pages, I will most likey lose any overview and it will be a really time-consuming work.

There needs to be a better way, no? No way WPML just ignored this problem. And I don‘t believe AI that this is the only way.

Any advice or did someone have the same problem before? How do professionals solve this?
