[Resolved] Hooking into save_post of automatic translation

Hey there! I’m back!

This has been an interesting challenge, and I understand why it’s happening. When switching to automatic translation, WPML doesn’t trigger the standard `save_post` hook in the same way as manual edits, which is why the custom actions aren't firing anymore.

A better approach would be to use WPML-specific hooks that are triggered during the translation process. One particularly useful hook is `wpml_pro_translation_completed`. This hook fires when an automatic translation is completed, allowing us to run any custom actions needed for translated posts.

Here’s a quick example of how we can use it:

add_action( 'wpml_pro_translation_completed', function( $post_id ) {
    // Custom action for translated posts
});

If the goal is to catch updates to translated posts in general, another option is `wpml_sync_duplicate_content`, depending on your specific setup.

While custom coding falls outside the scope of our Support Policy, we always strive to provide recommendations to guide you in the right direction.

Thank you for your patience. It allowed me to double-check this advice with another member of our team to ensure it is the best recommendation for your case.

I hope that you will find all this information helpful.
