The client is a long-time user of WPML and is planning to use automatic translation. They have two questions: whether automatic translations are stored in the database like manual translations, and if they can modify those translations.

1. Automatic translations are indeed stored in the database just as manual translations are. Additionally, the content is saved to the translation memory on our server, which means you won\'t be charged for translating the same segments again. 2. You can modify automatic translations. To do so, you can review the translation and open the Advanced Translation Editor to edit the translation made by the automatic translation feature. For more information, please refer to our documentation:<ul><li><a href="https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-wpml-keeps-track-of-your-translations/">How WPML keeps track of your translations</a>,</li><li><a href="https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#reviewing-automatic-translations">Reviewing automatic translations</a>.</li></ul> If this solution doesn\'t look relevant to your situation, please <a href="https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/">open a new support ticket</a> and we will be happy to assist you further.

Miguel	Hi! I'm a long time user of wpml and until now, I've been using the plugin to translate manually. I'm planning to use automatic translation. I've got two questions! 🙂 1. Does it store the translation in the database as normally do manual translations? 2. Can I modify those translations? Thanks a lot!

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi Miguel, Thank you for contacting WPML support, let me answer your questions. 1. Does it store the translation in the database as normally do manual translations? Yes, the translation content is saved to the database on your site as you translate manually. The content is also saved to the translation memory which is in our server. Then you won't be charged for the same segments next time. 2. Can I modify those translations? Yes, you can review the translation and open the Advanced Translation Editor to edit the translation which is made by automatic translation. Refer documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-wpml-keeps-track-of-your-translations/ https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#reviewing-automatic-translations Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Miguel	Thank you por your answer, Long! I have detected a high consumption of resources on the server that greatly slows down web browsing and makes the administrator unworkable. I've never had that happen to me with WPML, could it have to do with the use of machine translation? Thank you!
