Problem: The client wanted to switch from automatic translations to manual translations for their website, which was originally translated from English to German years ago. They were also inquiring about the function of the 'sync' icon in WPML. Solution: We explained that the 'sync' icon appears when WPML detects changes in the main language of a page, and clicking it allows the client to update the translation manually if desired. To move from automatic to manual translation, we provided a step-by-step guide: 1. Enable the WordPress Editor on the original post/language. 2. Go to the translated page and perform the manual translation. 3. Save the post once the manual translation is complete. Additionally, we shared a link to an existing support ticket with relevant information: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/changing-existing-pages-to-manual-translation/ We also provided a video tutorial that might be helpful: https://monosnap.com/file/rCXdZ9kBAs9WjVKFM7TDwwa8NClOAa
If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
