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

Problem:
You are experiencing issues with unwanted automatic translations in WPML, particularly with items like Elementor templates that were translated unintentionally. You want to remove these translations from the WPML translation queue and delete draft translations in 'Pending Review' status.
Solution:
First, deactivate the automatic translation feature by navigating to WPML -> Translation Management in your site's admin area. To delete the translated elements or draft translations, follow the standard procedure for deleting a post or a page. Ensure you filter these elements by the backend language using the language switcher at the top (admin bar) or the language filters in the results lists.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket or visit our support forum at WPML Support Forum.

Background of the issue:
I am experiencing issues with unwanted automatic translations in WPML on my site hidden link. I want to remove these automatic translations from the WPML translation queue, especially for items like Elementor templates that were translated unintentionally.

Symptoms:
Some items, such as Elementor templates, were translated unintentionally and are in the WPML translation queue. There are also draft translations in 'Pending Review' status that I want to delete.

Questions:
How can I remove automatic translations from the WPML translation queue?
Is there a way to undo translations or delete draft translations that are still in 'Pending Review' status?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

You can deactivate the automatic translation in WPML -> Translation Management (at the top).

To delete the translated elements, you can follow the same steps as deleting a post or a page, but you must filter by the backend language using the language switcher at the top (admin bar) or the language filters in the results lists.

Regards,
Carlos
