Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to get my custom product attributes to automatically translate.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No. I have a custom product attribute called "Guides". Each guide has a title, description, and slug. I assign guides to my products and they're supposed to be displayed in the front end. When I go to WPML > Taxonomy Translation and select my "Product Guides" taxonomy, I only have the option to translate each one manually. If I go to WC Multilingual & Multicurrency > Attributes, I get the same option. I have "Translate everything automatically" and "publish everything without review" activates, and tens of thousans of credits assigned to this site, still the Automatic translation queue remains empty even after adding new Guides.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
It's just custom attributes, nothing too weird.

What is the link to your site?

Hi there

You are correct that you can't automatically translate taxonomy terms directly, or in bulk.

Translating within the UI means translating the terms one at a time, using the interface you shared in your screenshot.

But, if you send posts that the terms are assigned to (in your case, products) for automatic translation then any taxonomy terms not already translated will be, along with the post content.

So if these product attributes are in use with your existing product posts and you send the products for translation, you should find the attributes translated at the same time.

Btw, a workaround is to create a post with all of the terms set, and just translate that one post: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-all-taxonomy-terms-at-once/
