Background of the issue:
I am trying to use custom translation engines for my site, specifically an OpenAI compatible endpoint, to translate my site.

Symptoms:
There is no specific issue or error message mentioned.

Questions:
Do you have any documentation regarding the implementation of custom engines besides DeepL, Google, Microsoft, and WPML AI?
If there is no documentation, could you provide the necessary hooks to set up a new engine?

Hi,

I'm sorry, but it is impossible to use WPML with a custom automatic translation engine. You must use it with one of the four integrated translation engines.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Please note that my weekend hours are Friday to Saturday. If you need further assistance, I'll be available to continue checking this issue and helping you next week.

Regards,
Itamar.
