[Resolved] Clarification on job status after setting 'Translation pickup mode' to manual and how to check the...

Hi,

Thanks for contacting our support forum.

first Let me explain briefly how the translation sync is working.

In WPML -> Settings there are 2 options for sync as shown in the screenshot you shared.

If you are using XML-RPC, the translations are automatically delivered to your website. Still, please note that using this option could be tricky because if for any reason the translation delivery is interrupted, this option will be disabled automatically to allow the client able to retrieve the jobs manually.

If you are not using XML-RPC, you can fetch them manually by going to WPML -> Translation management and clicking the "Check status and get translations" button or by clicking the sync button beside every job.

So the translation pickup mode is not related to the jobs status, it's an option that allows you either to pickup the completed translation manually or automatically.

The Jobs status is changed upon the status in the translation service, for example: if you just sent a new job, you will see its status as "in-progress", if it's completed in the translation service, you will see it as "completed" and so on.

I hope this answers your question,
Ahmed Mamdouh.
