Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

I'm afraid there is no way to achieve that with the WPML advanced translation editor, you need to save and complete the translation of each sentence before completing the translation job for the page.

Kindly check this guide for more details about how to use the advanced translation editor: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Hi,

Before submitting the request, could you please tell me if you're using Automatic translation or translating the content yourself?

I'm asking this question because when you're using the automatic translation, you don't need to approve the translation of each segment. You need only to click the "Complete" button to save the translation job.

Kindly also note that when you're using the advanced translation editor, it breaks the page content into sentences in order to save it in the translation memory and share the translated sentences across your site.

This means that you won't have to translate the same sentence again if it's used in another place. This is why each sentence needs to be marked as complete separately in ATE.

Hello, yea I understand now. I just thought it will be good if i could save my work too. I understand the need why it needs to be broken into sentences for them to be saved. But i just wanted to save them in bulk lol
