Problem: External translators (Contributors) still have access to automatic translation in WPML despite being denied access in the settings. Solution: We have confirmed with our development team that we are addressing this issue in future releases. Currently, the automatic translation will occur unless the user disables it in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE). Users need to disable this setting only once, and it will apply to all future translations. We are also working on creating a global setting that can be controlled by the admin, removing this control from the user level. We appreciate your patience and thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
