How to set specific pages not to be translated automatically?

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

Problem:
You have Automatic Translation enabled on your site and want to prevent a specific page from being translated automatically after duplicating the content in Translation Management.
Solution:
We recommend switching to the "Translate What You Choose" mode from WPML > Settings > Translation mode. This allows you to manually select which pages to send for automatic translation. You can find detailed instructions on how to send individual pages for translation in our documentation: Translating Individual Pages, Posts, and Other Content Automatically.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket for further assistance.

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. You can't exclude specific pages from translation in the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode. Switching the "Translate What You Choose" mode from WPML > Settings > Translation mode is an option. Then, you can send the pages you want to be translated automatically as described here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#translating-individual-pages-posts-and-other-content-automatically.
