I can't turn off the other admins from using the automatic translation

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

Problem:
The client wanted to restrict other administrators from using the Automatic Translation feature in WPML.
Solution:
We informed the client that it is possible to turn off other admins from using Automatic Translation in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), but they can still send content to automatic translation from WPML > Translation Management. This restriction applies to the Translation Manager as well. We recommended following the documentation:

However, we also clarified that there is no way to completely limit an administrator from using the automatic translation feature.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If so, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket with us.

You can turn off other admins from using Automatic Translation in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). However, they can still send the content to automatic translation from WPML > Translation Management. This action is applied to the Translation Manager also. Please follow the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#choosing-who-can-use-automatic-translation https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/working-with-translation-managers/ Look forward to your reply. Thanks

itsFarouk	so there is no way to limit the automatic translations to just one user for example, as I have multiple Admins in the website, and I don't want all of them to be able to use this feature.
