dimitriosN-2	Background of the issue: I am trying to skip the AI Translation step in the WPML setup process. I have attempted this on three different installations, but none of them proceed to the next step, which is step 5. Symptoms: The setup process is stuck at the AI Translation step and does not proceed to step 5. Questions: Is there a way to skip the AI Translation step in the setup?

You can add a filler word and proceed to the next steps. Once WPML is configured, you can go to WPML->Settings and from there either change from the PTC Engine to other Ai Engines and "turn them off", OR switch from using the Advanced Translation Editor to the Classic Translation Editor which turns off the automatic translation overall. hidden link Let me know your results, please.
