This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client was experiencing two issues: firstly, the WPML plugin dashboard indicated that they were out of credits for automatic translation, despite having credits left. Secondly, after translating a page, other languages were using a different template which the client did not have in their WordPress.
Solution:
For the first issue regarding credits, we advised the client to check if the credits were stuck or not assigned to the site. We recommended navigating to https://wpml.org/account to move the credits back to their WPML.org account. Following this, the client should remove the current site key and generate a new one at https://wpml.org/account/sites/, unregister and re-register WPML with the new key, and then re-add the credits by following the steps at https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-assign-automatic-translation-credits-to-your-sites/.
For the second issue regarding template consistency across translated pages, we requested the client to open a new ticket as per our Support Policy to handle one problem per ticket.

Please note that the solution provided might be outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I'm trying to translate pages with automated translation on WP dashboard using WPML. The site I need help with is hidden link.

Symptoms:
The plugin dashboard is saying I'm out of credits: 'You don’t have enough credits to use automatic translation'.

Questions:
Why is the WPML plugin saying I'm out of credits when we have a lot left?

Hi there.

Those credits probably got stuck unless they were not assigned to the site yet.

So, please let me explain why I think this situation with the credits might be happening.

When you initially install and set up WPML, an automatic translation account ID is created.

If you uninstall/reset WPML or reinstall/set WordPress from scratch, a new automatic translation account ID will be generated, and the credits will remain in the old account.

On this page (https://wpml.org/account), can you click the "add/remove credits” button and move the credits back to your WPML.org account?

Then, please go here (https://wpml.org/account/sites/) > remove the current site key > generate a new one > then go to your website's backend > Plugins > Add new > Commercial > UNregister WPML from the old key > RE-register WPML with the new key.

Now, you can re-add the credits to your site by following the steps here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-assign-automatic-translation-credits-to-your-sites/

Please let me know if that works fine for you.

Thanks for instructions. I was able to fix it but now facing another issue.
I translated one page hidden link but other languages are using a different template that I don't have in my WordPress. For example:
hidden link
hidden link
Anything I need to change to have translated pages on the same template layout?
