Background of the issue:
I am trying to get the automatic translation system to work again. I disabled all translations and automatic features, but there are still 20 automatic translations in progress. I deregistered and reregistered the site.

Symptoms:
The automatic translation system is not working reliably. There are 20 automatic translations in progress that never complete, causing a loop that breaks the translation process.

Questions:
How can I stop the ongoing automatic translations without losing what has already been translated?
How can I ensure reliable automatic translations in the future?

Hi,

You did not respond in the chat, so I turned this chat into a ticket. I'll consult our Advanced Translation Editor team about this problem and get back to you.

I appreciate your patience.
Itamar.

I have tried almost all options from Troubleshooting, those 20 still remain in translation and its not clear what those are.

Hi,

Our second-tier supporter noticed that the Classic Translation Editor is selected in WPML -> Settings -> Translation Editor. Please see the attached screenshot.
Is this intended?
We suspect this might cause the stuck message about 20 automatic translation jobs in progress.
If you used the Advanced Translation Editor and never intended to, and also never used the Classic Translation Editor, switch back to the Advanced Translation Editor and see if it helps to correct this issue.

**** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps****

Regards,
Itamar.

Yes of course I already tried that. I thought switching to manual will solve the issue, but it remains there no matter what is selected

I tried with pay-as-you-go, now i have prepaid credits, it always says it has no credits after a while, there is a button to fix, i press it and it loops a few minutes later again.

Hi,

If you have not tried it yet, please try the following:

1. Go to WPML -> Translation Management.

2. Deactivate the Translate Everything Automatically option. Please see the attached screenshot.

3. Wait for a minute or two and activate it again.

See if it solves the issue of stuck translations in the queue.

If it does not solve the issue, we need to inspect and possibly correct something related to it in your site's DB. For this, please provide us with FTP access to your site and allow us to install the hidden link">Adminer script (a script to manage DBs).
