Can't use automatic translation for strings in the non-default language

Resolved

Reported for: WPML Multilingual CMS 4.6.3

Resolved in: WPML 4.6.4

Topic Tags: ATE

Overview of the issue

At present, WPML’s automatic string translation feature only works for content that matches the default language of the website. If you attempt to use the Translate Everything Automatically mode or send strings for automatic translation that do not match the default language, they will instead be added to the Translations Queue.

Workaround

This is a current WPML limitation. In the meantime, you can translate those strings following this workflow:

  1. Go to WPML → Strings Translation.
  2. Identify the strings that are not in the default language of your site.
  3. Add these strings to the Translation Queue.
  4. Translate those strings
