Overview of the issue

Currently, when you are using Elementor’s Social Icons widget, it is not possible to translate its links and attributes.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

• Add the below PHP code in your theme’s functions.php file:

  add_action('init', function () {
  	add_filter('wpml_elementor_widgets_to_translate', function ($widgets) {
  		$widgets['social-icons'] = [
  			'conditions' => ['widgetType' => 'social-icons'],
  			'fields'     => [],
  			'integration-class' => 'elementorSocialIcons'
  		];
  		return $widgets;
  	});
  
  	/**
  	 * Class to translate the Elementor social-icons widget. 
  	 * 
  	 * @see wpmltriage-481
  	 */
  	class elementorSocialIcons extends WPML_Elementor_Module_With_Items {
  
  		/**
  		 * @return string
  		 */
  		public function get_items_field() {
  			return 'social_icon_list';
  		}
  
  		/**
  		 * @return array
  		 */
  		public function get_fields() {
  			return [
  				'link' => [
  					'url',
  					'custom_attributes'
  				]
  			];
  		}
  
  		/**
  		 * @param string $field
  		 *
  		 * @return string
  		 */
  		protected function get_title($field) {
  			switch ($field) {
  				case 'url':
  					return esc_html__('Social Icon: URL', 'elementor');
  				case 'custom_attributes':
  					return esc_html__('Social Icon: Custom Attributes', 'elementor');
  				default:
  					return '';
  			}
  		}
  
  		/**
  		 * @param string $field
  		 *
  		 * @return string
  		 */
  		protected function get_editor_type($field) {
  			switch ($field) {
  				case 'custom_attributes':
  					return 'LINE';
  				case 'url':
  					return 'LINK';
  				default:
  					return '';
  			}
  		}
  	}
  });



• Update your Elementor page and translate it again.
