duncanM-2	Background of the issue: I have 'Translate Everything Automatically' switched to OFF. We need to be able to choose specific pages to translate. I'm trying to find a way of clicking the + icon on specific pages we need translating, letting the automatic translation take place in the background. Once translation is complete, the + icon will change to an eye icon. Clicking the eye should launch a preview of the translated page with the WPML toolbar at the top where I can either publish the page or launch the translation editor to make amendments. Symptoms: Currently, I click the + icon and it boots up the ATE straight away and then clicking 'Complete Translation' automatically publishes the page, which means we can never preview the page with translated content before publishing. Questions: How can I set up WPML to allow previewing translated pages before publishing? Is there a way to let automatic translation occur in the background after clicking the + icon?

duncanM-2	It's also worth noting that I have 'Wait for review' switched on but this doesn't seem to do anything. This video (hidden link) shows more or less what I'm trying to do but I can't have translate everything set to ON. I need to be able to select specific pages to be translated.

duncanM-2	So I've just tested turning ON 'Translate Everything Automatically' with 'Wait for review' enabled and it's doing what I hoped. I guess my questions is can 'Translate Everything Automatically' be set to OFF and achieve the same thing.

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, In the latest version of WPML you no longer need to be in the mode "Translate Everything" to be able to access reviews. You can send the jobs yourself by going to "WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard", selecting your content, and choosing "Automatic translation" as the translation method, and you will be able to decide if you want a review or not. See screenshot. The key is, to make use of WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard and not to click the "+" icon on the page's list or on the WordPress Editor. Best regards Andreas
