  • WPML Multilingual CMS – the core plugin
  • WPML Translation Management – this plugin will allow you to connect to Mars Translation

Canceling translation jobs

If for any reason, you want to cancel the translation of the pages sent from WPML to Mars Translation, bear in mind that:

  • Although you cannot cancel individual translations from WPML, you can delete individual jobs from Mars Translation’s portal by going to View details>Cancel task.

Depending on your Translation Pickup mode configuration, the cancellation request can be sent to your website automatically through XML-RPC. Otherwise, you must click the Check status and get translations button on the Translation Dashboard tab to refresh the status and see the changes.

As a result, WPML will remove all canceled jobs from the Translation Jobs tab.
