You may edit the URL until you activate your licence. Once the licence is activated, the URL cannot be changed.

I made some changes to the original Sharepoint after carrying out the translation. How can I translate the new parts too?

You need to re-initialize the project by clicking “Initialize Now” within the project. Translator for SharePoint will download the new content as well as the one previously applied.

I accidentally deleted the translation job: is it possible to recover it?

Translator For SharePoint does not translate content, rather it is designed to translate the SharePoint interface structure. The contents refer to the user that produces them.
