Delete a translated page

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

Problem:
The client wanted to delete a translation in order to re-translate the page from scratch.

Solution:
Go to "Pages"
- Use the language selector in your top admin bar to switch to your secondary language
- Search for the page, trash it and empty the trash (or delete permanently)
- Once your translation is permanently deleted, you will be able to re-translate the page from scratch

calypsoP	Hi there, I have noticed several errors on my website's contact page (hidden link). Therefore, I have decided to delete its translated version and start afresh using automatic translation since I have sufficient credits now. How can I do that?

That should be easy to accomplish: - Go to "Pages" - Then use the language selector you have in your top admin bar to switch to your secondary language - Search for the contact page in that secondary language and trash it - Go to the trash and delete it permanently or empty the trash - (Don't forget that last step because trashed translation are still linked to their originals so you won't be able to create a new translation). Once the translation is gone, you can create a new one: - either by clicking on the "+" icon and then click on "Automatic translation" - or go to "WPML > Translation management" and send this page to automatic translartion Ref: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#translating-individual-pages-posts-and-other-content-automatically
