m.kathleenM	We have published translations that show completed in the Translation Management Dashboard. Sometimes we want to review and/or edit an existing translation via the Advanced Translation Editor, but there doesn't seem to be a simple way to add a completed translation page to a translators translation queue, so they can open up and review or edit it after its already published/completed. Are we missing a simple step?

m.kathleenM	telling me to basically RTFM is not helpful. I have a specific action request- sending an already published translation to a site reviewer/translator to review/edit the translated text in the Adv Translation Editor. This is closest I've seen to doing what I need: making a change to the original English page which then indicates in the Translation Dashboard that the page has changed and the translation then can be assigned to a reviewer/translator. https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/professional-translation-via-wpml/updating-translations-without-resubmitting-them-to-a-translation-service/ But this seems like a very hacky way to do it, since the original English page doesn't need any changes. There should be an action to just assign an already published page to a reviewer/translator in the Translation Manager Dashboard even after it's already been published and reviewed. It that action exists - I'd like to know how to do it please

But to save you some pain, let me write down the steps (screenshots attached also): 1) Go to WPML -> Translation Management (1.jpg). 2) Select the content you want to send to a reviewer/translator, even it has been translated and published already (1.jpg). 3) Click "Translate" in "Select translation options" section (1.jpg). 4) Select "Assign to a translator" (1.jpg). 5) Click "Add to Translation Basket" (1.jpg). 6) Once added (1-a.jpg), go to WPML -> Translation Management -> Translation Basket (2.jpg). 7) Select translator in "Choose translator or Translator Service" section (2.jpg). 8) Click "Send all items for translation" (2.jpg). 9) That's all (2-a.jpg). Once all's sent, the translator or reviewer 'll (3.jpg): 1) Login to their account. 2) Go to WPML -> Translations. 3) Find the one they need to act upon. 4) Edit/Update, View or Approve the review. I hope this clarifies your query. Have a great weekend!
