michalB-2	I don't understand this option. If I had users they will not be able the translate? I got this message on the setup when I migrate from Polylang to WPML

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. No worries. That section is part of the WPML setup but you can control that after the setup, too: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/#setting-up-translators Please take a look over the documentation above so that you can better understand how this works. I hope that you will find that information helpful 🙂 Kind regards, Mihai Apetrei

michalB-2	I will read it, but if already have users, any one of them can open new translation and translate?

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there and welcome back! They can do that only if you set them as translators and if they have admin access (at least "Editor" user level).

michalB-2	OK, so if the other users are admin they can translate any page, post, product? If I create non admin use, how do give the ability to translate?

Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+03:00)	Hi there. 1. Please take a look here at the section called "Setting up a Translation Manager": https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/working-with-translation-managers/ Users need to be at least "editors" to be able to translate. Admins are set as "Translation Managers" by default. 2. Non-admin users can translate as long as they have at least the "editor" level and as long as you added them to the "Translators" list. Hope that this information helps. Mihai
