This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
We've recently enabled the automatic translation with no review needed for its publication. However, we've noticed a recurring issue. Some terms or word combinations should never be translated or translated in some specific manner. Is there any way to add, let's call it, exceptions to the automatic translations?

Solution:
Yes, there is a way. In this case, you should use the Glossary we offer as an additional feature of the Advanced Translation Editor. Kindly check more info here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/how-to-create-and-manage-glossary-entries/

Please bear in mind that the glossary only works for automatic translations if the translation engine chosen is the DeepL (WPML → Settings → Automatic translation). Check here if your translated language is supported by DeepL: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/translate-your-wordpress-site-with-deepl/

Hi,

Thanks!
