question 1 - Mihai Apetrei from WPML told me I should get the "WPML Media" plugin from the downloads page. However, nowhere on the download page is a plugin which is called that. Where can I find that plugin?

question 2 - I don't know which translation modus to chose. I want to translate the content automatically (letting WPML's translation program do it), but I want to translate each item 1 by 1 so that I can check each translation first before I move on to the next, and that I need to give approval before WPML translates something. From what I've read, "Translate everything automatically" will literally translate everything, which makes me go through my credits real fast. But the "Translate what you choose" did not have the DeepL, Google Translate, and Microsoft translate modules that were talked about, but instead the list consisted of a bunch of vague translation programs I never heard of. From how I am reading the descriptions, neither "translate everything automatically" nor "Translate what you choose" is exactly what I'm looking for. Please help me out.

question 3 - when I was confirgurating, there were recommended 2 plugins to me: 1. Contact form 7 multilingual. 2. WPML SEO. I thought because I have the normal Contact Form 7, they recommended me the multilingual version (they didn't recommend me any other multilingual contactforms), so I downloaded it. However, this got me wondering why they recommended me the WPML SEO plugin. Is it because I have Yoast SEO installed and WPML SEO is compatible with that?

question 4 - during the configuration wizard there was the option to get different domain names for different languages. At this point I have no interest in that, but later on that's definitely something I'd want. If I want to switch to that later, is there any way I can do so? I couldn't find it nowhere in the settings and I can't go back to the installation wizard either.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for contacting WPML support, I will be glad to help you.

Regarding the first question about where to find the "WPML Media Translation" plugin, please try the following steps:

1. Go to the downloads page https://wpml.org/account/downloads/
2. Click the "Download WPML Manually" link
3. Scroll down to the section with the title "Plugins for building advanced multilingual sites"
4. Download the "Media Translation" plugin (Please check the attached screenshots).

Please note that you can also install the WPML plugins from your WP admin dashboard in Plugins > Add New > Commercial tab.

For better support, we limit 1 issue/question per ticket to keep things clear. I will open new tickets for your other questions and we can continue the discussions about them here:
