How to add strings for Automatic translation

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

WPML allows you to add strings for automatic translation. From the WPML String Translation page, you can select the strings you want to translate and the languages you want to translate them into. How you next send them for automatic translation depends on your translation mode and the number of translators on your site.

Learn more on the page about translating strings automatically.

Itamar Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, The WPLMS (core) plugin by VibeThemes is officially compatible with WPML. https://wpml.org/plugin/wplms-2/ However, as we specify in the link above, this plugin can only be translated manually and can not be automatically translated. Please read our guide at the following link on manually translating content. https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ Please also be aware that there is a bridge plugin called WPML WPLMS Integration that you need to install when working with WPML and WPLMS. Please follow the WPLMS guide at the link to the YouTube video on how to work with WPMl and WPLMS. hidden link Please note as weel that this plugin has a WPML integration handled by the author. Should you be experiencing any issues, please report them to WPLMS support. hidden link Regards, Itamar.
