This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I have two questions:
1 - I translated a page created with Porto template builder with automatic translation, but there are fields that were not translated. I had to manually translate them myself.
2 - I was charged $0.92 for the translation of a single page, which is too expensive. I need to automatically translate about 200 identical pages, but I don't want to pay around $180. I need help optimizing the translations to reduce the cost.
Solution:
1- To fix the untranslated fields, you need to register the custom fields in the XML configuration file. You can follow the step-by-step guide provided in this documentation: [link to documentation]
2- For the pricing issue, I recommend changing the translation engine from DeepL to Microsoft Translation Engine, as it costs only 1 credit per word compared to 2 credits per word. You can do this by going to WPML -> Translation Management -> Tools tab and turning off the engines you don't want to use.
1 - I translated a page created with Porto template builder with automatic translation and it happens that there are fields that were not translated.
Afterwards I had to do the manual translation myself.
2 - I was charged $0.92 for the translation of a single page, which is an exaggeration. I need to automatically translate about 200 identical pages, but I'm not willing to pay about $ 180. I ask that you tell me how to optimize these translations in order to have a much lower cost.
Obs. Since the site is still in production, I need to provide the credentials to access the wordpress cpanel, so that I can verify this situation.
Correction to my observation:
Obs. Since the site is still in production, I need to provide you the credentials to access the wordpress cpanel, so you can verify this issue.
1- Regarding your automatic translations, which elements weren't translated? And how did you translate them (a step-by-step guide would really help along with screenshots)
2- If you are using the Advanced Translation Editor to translate your pages, rest assured that it has a built-in translation memory, which saves your previous translations and applies them automatically when you work on pages with similar content.
For the price, Would you please share your access to your test site, I need to check your translation history,
It is important to note that you should back up your site and database before proceeding, and you can use a plugin like Duplicator for this purpose. Here’s a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
If you do not see the form below, please do not enter your credentials, as they will be publicly exposed:

For your privacy and security, please ensure that you make your reply a private one.
For the pricing, I can see that you used around 3000 credits for your page translation as you translated it to 3 different language, please refer to this history : hidden link
And that you are currently using DeepL as your translation engine, which costs 2 credits per word. I would suggest changing it to Microsoft translation Engine, as that one only costs 1 credit per word, to do this:
- Go to WPML → Translation Management and click on the Tools tab.
- Expand the Automatic translation engines tab.
- Turn off the engines you do not want to use.

For your untranslated fields, these fields seem to be “custom fields” as they are coming from a page builder, Could you please specify which page is that as I cannot understand Portuguese. (A link would be great)
Thanks for your reply.
I just did the translation for the English language as you can check. And for that I was charged for 0.92.
Just go to Porto templates builder to BSR1 page. Then you can see two 'Custom Heading' sections and that all content was not translated with Advanced Translation Editor, but by me.
And for the automatic translation pricing, I recommend you check this page, it contains answer to how the pricing is calculated and a tool to have an estimate on how much would a translation cost : hidden link
I ask you to copy and paste it for me, as I'm having difficulties to know the exactly code to pick up.

Perfeito para pequenas torrefações e até laboratórios de torrefação, o BSR 1 de operação manual é ideal para testar torras e replicá-las numa maior escala.
Um suporte de mesa está disponível para colocar o torrador em cima.

Não é nenhuma coincidência, e tem sido provado ao longo do tempo, que se pode destruir o melhor café do mundo durante a torra devido a maus equipamentos e técnicas. Em contrapartida, também se pode melhorar a qualidade de um café ao torrá-lo corretamente em torradores de qualidade comprovada e tecnologicamente avançada como os torradores da JOPER.
