frmanA	Background of the issue: I am using WPML on my site hidden link and I want to use the Kurdish language. I noticed that WPML uses Kurmanci, but I need to use Sorany (CKB) for auto-translation. Symptoms: WPML currently uses Kurmanci for Kurdish language, but I need Sorany (CKB) for auto-translation. Questions: How can I use Sorany (CKB) for Kurdish language in auto-translate with WPML?

While you wait for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with the first debugging steps or see if I can help with the issue quickly. WPML supports the Kurdish language with the 'ku' language. You can see it here. hidden link. You can create a custom language to add the Sorany (CKB) language. Please read about it here. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/ To use this language with automatic translation, you need to map this custom language to Kurdish. Please read bout it here. https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/using-automatic-translation-with-custom-languages/ Please share your site's Debug information if you need further help with this issue. You can read about it here. http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ Regards, Itamar.

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Sorry to inform you that, now it will not be possible to translate to Sorany (CKB) automatically. This feature is still in development and is expected to include the future version of Advanced Translation Editor. We will get back to you soon when we have an update from our developers on this. Please wait. -- Thanks! Bigul
