[Resolved] If I choose to translate Automatically can I then switch to manual translation and viceversa?

Problem:

The client is using WPML on their site and inquires whether they can switch between automatic and manual translation methods after the initial setup. They also ask if it's possible to get an estimate of the credits needed for automatic translation before starting, and how to choose among different translation engines like Google, Deepl, and WPML AI with ChatGPT.

Solution:

If you're experiencing similar questions, we recommend the following steps:

1. You can change your translation method at any time in WPML > Settings.
2. To estimate the credits needed for automatic translation, navigate to WPML > Translation Management, get a word count, and then use our simulator to calculate the costs. You can find the simulator here: Automatic Translation Pricing.
3. For choosing a specific translation engine, please refer to our detailed guide here: How to Change Automatic Translation Engines.
