Delete ongoing translation

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

Problem:
Is it possible to change the original translation language now that the job has been started?
If not, can the ongoing job be deleted?

Solution:
It is not possible to change the source language of this job.

You should be able to cancel the job at WPML > Translation Management > Jobs if you choose the translation option "Translate what you choose" inside WPML > Settings > Translation mode.

jeffreyG-8	My translator accidently clicked on add translation while in the translated language page. So instead of English being the original language, it is now the translated language. Question 1. Is it possible to change the original translation language now that the job has been started? 2. If not, can the ongoing job be deleted? I searched the forum for a solution, and saw that one of the answers was to complete the job, then delete the page. This seems a long way to solve the issue, and would appreciate if there is a more direct and simple method to solve this issue. Thanks
