ralfK-2	Background of the issue: I am working on a site under development and have integrated WPML with Memoq. We have many support tickets with Memoq. The issue is that Memoq is publishing translations directly to the website, which we don't want. We prefer to have articles in draft status until all translations are ready to be published together. I am looking for a way to configure WPML or use code to achieve this. Symptoms: Memoq is publishing translations directly to the website instead of saving them as drafts. Questions: How can I configure WPML to save translations as drafts instead of publishing them immediately?

ralfK-2	Can I just say your AI ticket rewrite is horrible - You should have a button to bypass it.

You may want to try to turn on/select "Save the translated post as a draft" found under WPML > Settings > "Translated documents options". That might solve your problem. Try it out and let us know how it goes.
