Quick update, I've solved the last issue about deleting the post, and the other one about disconnecting the translation. Now I've another problem, mainly I wanted to edit by bulk the posts language so I could translate the content, for context those posts were published in Spanish (default language) but all the content, title, seo, etc, was in English.

They were "translated" but as they were already in English there was no change. Now I want to set the post original language to English and translate the content to Spanish. The issue, the "translation" seems to be saved to memory so I have to manually click automatic translation for each text field in the Advanced Translation Editor. What do I need to do so when I open the Advanced Translation Editor I can click the automatic translation and it translated all the texts fields of the post?

Translations are saved to the translation memory when you translate a post.

If you set the post's original language, you can go to WPML → Translation Management and send the entire post for automatic translation.

If your newly changed English post has a linked Spanish translation but has not yet been translated, you can delete the Spanish post and send the original page (English) for translation as described above.
