Background of the issue:
We are developing a site and using WPML for translations. Most of our website is translated.

Symptoms:
WPML is indicating that we need 150,000 credits to complete a few pages.

Questions:
Why is WPML asking for 150,000 credits to translate a few pages?
What might be causing this discrepancy in the credit requirement?

Hi there.

When using the "Translate everything automatically" option, WPML will try to translate every piece of content it can find on the website. There's a chance many parts of content on the site you will not even want to translate, or they might not be ready for translation.

My recommendation is to use the "Translate what you choose" option (you can switch between these two options inside WPML > Settings) because it gives you full control over the exact content that you are sending for translation.

When you select multiple pages inside WPML > Translation Management, WPML will show you an estimate of the number of credits required. If you are using a lot of content inside the page, if you are using plugins that add a lot of metadata inside the page, or if you translate in many languages, then these could be a few reasons why you will see a bigger amount of credits required.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.

Hi there, and thank you for the updates.

Can you please send a screenshot of this area: WPML > Support > Advanced Translation Editor > Error Log?

Or copy all of the errors you see there (if there are any) and share them with us through a site like pastebin.com. Then, share the link here with us (only you and us will see the URL you are sharing).

Thank you!

Thank you for the screenshot and for your amazing patience.

Per our Support Policy, we can handle only one problem per ticket.

Continuing with one issue per ticket helps supporters focus on one problem at once and enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster.

So I am converting this last issue that you mentioned to a new separate ticket where I am going to ask for site credentials so that I can dig a little depeer on that matter.

This is the new ticket:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-existing-translations/

Can you please mark this current ticket as resolved?

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
