I'm using automatic translation manually and I would like to send a batch of things to translate, but I want to limit the number of translations to be done.

Example A
Job A with 1 post to be translated to 15 languages.

Example B
Job B with 10 posts to be translated to 15 languages.

I would like the automatic translation to do 1 language at a time.
How can I do this?

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support. Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend.

From the "Translation Management" section, you'll be able to automatically translate a batch one language at a time. Please check the documentation below for more information.

- https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatically-translating-multiple-translation-jobs-in-bulk/

If you want to translate into one language at a time, here are the steps to follow.

- From the "WPML > Translation management" section, select the post that you want to send for translation.
- Scroll down to the 'Select translation options'
- For all languages, select 'do nothing'.
- Select "Translate" beside the language to which you want to automatically translate the contents.
- In the "How do you want to translate?" section, select "Translate Automatically"
- Click on "Start Translating"

In this way, you'll be able to translate content automatically in one language at a time. But, if there is anything I may have missed or if you require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know with more details. I would be happy to assist you further.

Best Regards,
Prosenjit
