Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate products manually on my site hidden link using WPML. I want to manage translations in the translations queue instead of using the WordPress editor.

Symptoms:
I can't select the products in the translation management page. It says this page is set to be translated manually using the WordPress editor.

Questions:
How can I change the translation method from manual using the Wpml editor to using the translations queue?
