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

Problem:
The client needed to integrate automatic translation for two languages without affecting the existing manual translations for three other languages.
Solution:
We recommended using the WPML bulk automatic translation feature with the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML > Translation Management.
2. Select the posts and pages that require translation.
3. Choose the two languages for automatic translation.
4. For the three languages with manual translations, set the option to "Do Nothing".
5. Select the Translate automatically option and then click on the Start translating button.
For more detailed instructions, we provided a guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatically-translating-multiple-translation-jobs-in-bulk/

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hello,
Currently, we have manually translated content for three languages, and we're considering automating the translation for the remaining two languages. However, our priority is to ensure that the existing translations in these three languages remain unchanged.

Could you please advise on the best approach to achieve this? We want to seamlessly integrate automatic translation for the two remaining languages without affecting the quality and integrity of the manually translated content.

Best regards,

Endrit
