This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You have Chinese web pages within your English site and are using a translation engine to translate English content to Spanish. However, the translation engine does not translate the Chinese pages within the English version of the site to Spanish.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend manually adding a translation for the Chinese content. Unfortunately, the translation engine cannot automatically translate Chinese content on an English site to Spanish because it recognizes and translates based on the set language of the content. You can manually add translations using the WPML ATE editor.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hello,

I am afraid there is no way since the language you set is going to be used as the language of content, the only way that you can do is to send for translation to your user and then in the WPML ATE editor manually add a translation for them.

Hope this helps.
