[Waiting for user confirmation] Translating only select pages of the website
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Elementor users - please update WPML to the latest version to maintain compatibility. More details here - https://wpml.org/changelog/2024/12/wpml-4-6-15-critical-update-for-elementor-sites/
Background of the issue:
I have purchased and installed the WPML plugin. We have already created multilingual pages on our website with our own translation. We only want to use WPML on our blogs hidden link and downloads pages hidden link for the automatic translation to Polish and Swedish.
Symptoms:
I didn't find any tutorial or documentation to use the plugin only on select pages. It is only showing me how to translate the entire website in Polish and Swedish.
Questions:
How can I use WPML to translate only specific pages like blogs and downloads?
Is there a way to configure WPML to apply automatic translation only to selected pages?

Hello,
When using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode you can not controle which pages are getting translated automatically.
Using this translation mode the only workaround would be to switch the translation method for those pages to "WordPress Editor". You find this option on each original content on the right sidebar of the WordPress Editor inside the section "Language".
Anyhow, I would not recommend doing this.
Instead go to WPML > Settings > Translation Mode and set it to "Translate What You Choose."
This way you can decide yourself how each page should be translated byt going to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard. This way you will still be able to send pages to automatic translation or you can create jobs for translators or yourself to translated them with the Advanced Translation Editor.
