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

Problem:
You want to re-translate specific pages using the AI-WPML translator but are unsure how to initiate an automatic re-translation.
Solution:
To re-translate pages automatically, you should first edit the original text of the pages you want to re-translate. After editing, save the changes to update the translation for the edited segments automatically. Alternatively, you can manually trigger a re-translation by navigating to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard. Here, create a new translation job for the pages you wish to re-translate. Ensure you select the option to overwrite existing content during the last step of the job creation. This process will generate a new automatic translation for the entire content, but be aware that it will incur new charges for the translation. For detailed guidance, visit Translating Your Contents.

Hello,

Each translation is saved inside the Advanced Translation Editor's translation memory.

Only editing the original content will force a re-translation for affected segments.

Ideal would be, if you edit the original text, save the original page again and the translation for the test that was edited on the original content will be updated.

As an alternative, you can go to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard and create a new translation job for the content that you send to automatic translation but before sending it you need to make sure to pick the option to overwrite the existing content. This will be the last step of the job creation on the dashboard.

Guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/

This will create a completely new automatic translation for the whole content, but you will also get charged again for the whole translation.

Let me know if you do have any further questions.

Best regards
Andreas
