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

Problem:
I'm trying to send strings to automatic translation from WPML > String Translation but there is a notice message:
"Selected strings are not in the site's default language and will not be translated automatically if you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode. Instead, after sending them for translation here, you need to go to the WPML -> Translations page and translate them manually".
Solution:
Currently, WPML does not support sending strings to automatic translation if the source language of strings is not in the site's default language. You can follow the documentation to change the language of strings and send them to automatic translation.
Relevant Documentation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/how-to-change-the-source-language-of-strings/

I'm trying to translate strings of tutor lms both free and pro versions but here is an errror :
Selected strings are not in the site's default language and will not be translated automatically if you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode. Instead, after sending them for translation here, you need to go to the WPML -> Translations page and translate them manually.

I have followed the string translation of wpml

No i don't think that there is a similar example

Hi Hassine,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

I see the default language of your site is French (you can see that in WPML > Languages) and the language of strings is English. Currently, WPML only supports translating strings automatically from the default language to second languages on your site.

You can follow the documentation below to change the language of strings and send them to automatic translation again.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks
