Background of the issue:
I am using WPML on my site hidden link. I want to automatically translate posts into specific languages when 'Translate Everything Automatically' is enabled. The site currently translates into 5 languages, and I want to add more languages. However, I want posts to be automatically translated only into certain languages, while everything else should be translated into all added languages.
Symptoms:
No specific issue or error message mentioned.
Questions:
How can I configure WPML to automatically translate posts only into specific languages?
Is it possible to selectively translate posts into certain languages while using 'Translate Everything Automatically'?
Languages: English (English )German (Deutsch )French (Français )

Hi,
Unfortunately, WPML doesn’t currently support automatically translating posts into only specific languages while using the 'Translate Everything Automatically' mode.
However, there is a practical workaround you can use:
1. Disable the 'Translate Everything Automatically' feature temporarily.
2. Go to WPML → Languages → Site Languages.
3. Remove (disable) the languages you don’t want posts to be translated into.
4. Re-enable 'Translate Everything Automatically'. It will now only translate into the remaining active languages.
5. Once your posts are translated as desired, you can disable 'Translate Everything Automatically' again and re-activate the previously disabled languages for manual or selective translation.
This method allows you to control which languages receive automatic translations for posts.
Let me know if you'd like help walking through these steps.
