1 user per language (author and translator)

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

Problem:
This site is going to have different admin users, each one with a different language and the ability to publish content in their native language by default.

Solution:
The language of any original content depends on the admin language that is selected inside the WordPress admin bar when creating a page or a post.

Further, you can set a different admin language for each user inside the WordPress profile by default.

Relevant Documentation:

edT-2	Tell us what you are trying to do? I'm going to have people in different countries creating and translating content. I would like to have the ability to just show one option for those users: create and translate content, but NOT changing the original ones. Also, I would like to show to those users only native language (pre-configured on WordPress users), I've made a test with Spanish language for a user called "Argentina", but when I tried to write a content with this user, the language showed was Portuguese. Is there any documentation that you are following? I saw this documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-admin-capabilities/ but could not understand how to use it, tried to search for configuration on Toolset but could not find either.

Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, The language of any original content depends on the admin language that is selected inside the WordPress admin bar when creating a page or a post. Further, you can set a different admin language for each user inside the WordPress profile by default. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/setting-the-wordpress-administration-language/ Then, only admins will have full access to translations on the WPML backend and inside page or post list views. For any other users than admins, you should create a translator role inside WPML > Translation Management > Translators. Here you can then assign language pairs for each translator. The workflow from there would be, that one admin creates jobs for existing content and translators can pick the jobs from WPML > Translations. https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-to-set-up-local-translators-and-language-pairs/ Please let me know if you do have further questions. Best regards Andreas
