[Closed] cannot translate template

Hello,

You can translate strings directly at WPML > String Translation, but if you want to translate the strings automatically you need to create jobs for those strings.

You have now added various strings from WPML > String Translation as translation jobs.

Translation jobs are accessed at WPML > Translations (see screenshot).

Click "Take and translate" and begin the first job.

The WPML Translation Editor will open. Here you can create the translation yourself or use the automatic translation feature.

Do this for all the jobs.

If you would like to cancel some jobs, go to WPML > Translation Management > Jobs.

Further, you are using the "Translate everything automatically mode" which means that you would like to translate everything automatically in the background.

When it comes to String Translation, you can also use this feature but it won't work for single strings if they are part of a whole package of strings, which means that will need to add all the strings of the text domain as one job.

This means that at WPML > String Translation you select a text-domain from the dropdown, then mark all the strings and send them to translation. This way you do not need to access all the jobs by yourself and WPML will create the translations automatically in the background.

I suggest you read this part of the documentation and let me know if you have any further questions:

Hello,

If you want to translate strings in bulk automatically, then this yet will only work if you select a text domain and add all the strings in this text domain for translation.

Go to WPML > String Translation.

Select a text domain from the respective dropdown.

Mark all the available strings for this text domain.

Send all the strings to translations.

The strings will now be translated automatically.

I would like to ask you again to read this documentation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatically-translate-strings-with-wpml/

It is not possible to translate single selected strings automatically, and this is also why it did not create all the expected translations automatically.

Also, please take kindly note, that our support service does not cover the creation of translations.

If you have still any doubts or questions, please let me know.

Best regards
Andreas
