Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and trying to use WPML for automatic string translation. I followed the documentation at https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#translate-strings-by-yourself.

Symptoms:
Automatic string translation is not working, which used to work previously. I also could not find the option to select multiple strings for translation as described in the documentation.

Questions:
Why is automatic string translation not working?
Where can I find the option to select multiple strings for translation?

Hi,

Welcome to WPML support. To send the strings to the automatic translation you need to follow the steps below:

https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/#sending-strings-to-translators

- Go to WP Dashboard > WPML > String Translation
- Select the strings that you want to translate
- Scroll down and click the button to send the strings to automatic translation.
- Go to WP Dashboard > WPML > Translations
- You will see an item in the list that contains the strings package
- Click the translate button next to them and they should be translated automatically.

Also, please check WP Dashboard > WPML > Translation Management and make sure you have enough credits for translation and the automatic translation is enabled.

Thanks.
