Problem: The client is trying to use DeepL to automatically translate content assigned to a custom language labeled as Spanish (Latin America) with the locale set to es_MX, mapped to Spanish (Mexico). However, they encounter an error stating that the target language does not support automatic translations. Solution: We recommend mapping the custom language (LATAM with the locale es_MX) to Spanish with the language code 'es' to continue using DeepL, as DeepL only supports the 'es' language code. If the client prefers to use Spanish (Mexico) specifically, they can switch to our PTC translation engine, which supports the 'es-mx' language code, though it is more expensive. Unfortunately, there are no hooks available to customize the language used by DeepL for translation since it does not support the 'es-mx' language code.
