Our wait time is higher than usual, please make sure you are meeting the minimum requirement - https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements before you report issues, and if you can take a look at current Known Issues - https://wpml.org/known-issues/. Thank you.
Background of the issue:
I am using the ATE in WPML and there is some content that does not need to be translated. I want to know how to handle this in different situations. For example, I have a page that does not need translation: hidden link. In the source language, I set the translation priority to 'Not needed'. However, in the translation management dashboard, it still shows as not translated, and I don't see the translation priority.
Symptoms:
In the translation management dashboard, items with translation priority set to 'Not needed' still appear as not translated.

ATE and content that does no need translation
Hi, I am using the ATE and there is some content that does not need to be translated, and I would like to know how I should deal with that in a few situations.
Situation 1
I have this page that does not need to be translates hidden link
So in the source language I have set the translation priority to 'Not needed'.
But when I go to translation management » translation dashboard, it says it's not translated, I don't see the translation priority.
1.1: is there a way to always and automatically exclude items who's translation priority = 'Not needed'?
1.2: how can pages like this be excluded when I enable "Translate Everything Automatically"?
1.3: is there another way to indicated and exclude specific pages, posts etc from "Translate Everything Automatically"?
Situation 2
In the Translation Management Dashboard, there are sections for pages, posts, blocks, layouts, other texts (strings) etc. When I enable "Translate Everything Automatically", it will translated each item in every section.
2.1: is there a way to disable/exclude entire sections from being translated automatically? For example, I never want to translate blocks, layouts and other texts. The 'other texts' section is already set to 'disabled', but I don't see an option to disable/exclude other parts.
I would like to use "Translate Everything Automatically", so it will automatically update translations when something has been changed, but I don't want 'everything', I want to exclude certain items from automatic translation.
This issue has been reported as a feature request and if our developers decide to implement this, it will be included in a future release and release notes.
I asked our team to review the request to deselect some content from the translation editor. As of now, this is not a popular request and there are no plans to implement it in the near future. Perhaps later if we continue getting more requests, this feature may be revisited.
