Problem: The client is trying to set up two separate languages on their site, one for English UK and the other for English USA, but WPML supports only one mapping language as 'English'.
Solution: We recommend adding different variants of English for manual translation by adding a custom language. You can do this by editing WPML's languages table. During this setup, select the "Don't map this language" option for each variant. For detailed instructions, please visit Editing WPML's Languages Table.

Problem: The client is experiencing an error when translating their website from English to Czech, stating that 'The following target languages do not support automatic translations: English UK. To enable automatic translation map them to known languages.' Solution: We recommend ensuring that the language used is correctly mapped to a recognized language. It appears that the client might be using a custom-modified language with a UK locale. To resolve this issue, please map this language to English as described in our guide on Editing WPML’s Languages Table, specifically looking at the 'Language Mapping' field.

Problem: You are developing a site and need to choose a translation method for WPML among Google, Azure, or WPML itself, considering different pricing options. You are also concerned about what happens if your translation credits run out during the process. Solution: We recommend assigning your prepaid credits first and using them before switching to a pay-as-you-go model, as prepaid credits cannot be used with pay-as-you-go. For more details, please visit https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-assign-prepaid-credits-to-a-pay-as-you-go-site/#post-13668311. If cost is a significant factor and you do not have specific quality expectations, using Azure might be a cheaper and more appropriate option. However, if you seek top-quality translations, be prepared for higher costs. We suggest running tests in small batches with different translation engines to determine which one meets your satisfaction.
