Make it default so that when a local translator or user initiates the translation of the page/post they become the author of that page.
We need this because we are using Oasis Workflow and we set that only the post/page authors can publish the pages.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
all pages/ post types.
I expected to see:
an option to enable this. right now the author of the post just get passed to the translated version but that user might not know how to read/write on that language.
I'm afraid that it is not a feature of WPM yet, and such a script would need custom coding which is beyond the scope of our support. This being the case please consider contacting one of our certified partners from this link: http://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-contractors/
You will get the custom assistance you need to get on with your project.
