Can I automatically translate content from secondary languages?

Yes. If you created content in a secondary language, you can send it for automatic translation to your primary language and other secondary languages.

To translate content created in a secondary language:

  1. Go to WPML → Translation Dashboard.
  2. Use the filter bar to select the source language. Then, click Filter.
  3. Select the secondary language content you want to translate.
  4. Choose the option to Translate automatically and click Translate your content.
