Faq
There are two kinds for WPML translation.
Translate with “WordPress Editor”, not with “WPML Translation Editor”:
WPML > Settings > Translation Editor > Classic Translation Editor
or
Your site in admin / gutenberg mode > right sidebar / Page > language > Translations > WordPress Editor
Other option but there is a bug, it doesn’t work for us?
wpml.org/faq / FAQ > How-To > “How can I translate links and HTML attributes in the Advanced Translation Editor?”
Search content: “http” YouTube
No, that is illegal and causes errors in the renderd HTML.

Incompatibility issue
By 
The unnecessary and non-urgent modification in 2.0.3 causes an incompatible problem.
This should be a Core Block!
By 
This should be part of WordPress core blocks. Thanks for fixing Gutenberg!
Just what I needed
By 
Easy to use. Thank you developer.
Don't forget to remove links from inside the group.
Well made and useful - perfect
By 
Nicely put together. Will be using this block regularly.
The 4 star review mentions missing abitility to add title tag, but the excellent Attributes for Blocks plugin will do that for you and more, for all your blocks.
Yay, worked great!
By 
Thank you. I try to keep my sites lean and mean and appreciate that it's not bloated and elegantly integrated. Nice job.
Works Perfectly Well
By 
Thanks for this, works great for me, no need to hand code blocks to wrap href's around divs etc...
Missing in Gutenberg
By 
Since the block received aria-label is very useful.
Thank you!
Broke my site
By 
Editor content disappeared when I activated this plugin. Deactivating solved my issue.
Great job!
By 
A very helpful plugin for such a basic feature missing in WordPress...
Almost perfect
By 
Very useful and easy to use plugin.
Create a container surrounded by an <a> tag. Unfortunately there is no possibility to add the css class to the <a> tag which is applied only to the internal container. The ability to add the Title tag is also missing, but this is also missing in Gutenberg. Improvable. Thanks anyway to the developer for making it and making it available.
