grupoS-2	Background of the issue: I have English and Spanish installed on my site hidden link and have added Portuguese. The site is set to automatically translate, and we have enough credits. Symptoms: Nothing is translated, neither the website nor the WooCommerce products. Questions: What am I missing in the steps to follow when installing a new language?

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for sharing the debug information. I would need temporary access to your website to investigate this issue and understand it better. Please fully back up your site (files and database) and confirm it in your next reply. I would need to access your site's WP-admin.

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for the access, I notice that the Portuguese language is not translated. Please try following the instructions from our documentation on translating content automatically. Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance. Kind regards, Marsel

grupoS-2	There are strange things happening. I have gone to transation management. Filtered all pages in English (default language) and tried to automatically translate to Portuguese. It doesnt allow me to translate anything automatically to Portuguese. It says that I need to use the language switcher at the top of the page to change to Spanish first. SO I did this and still no possibility to automatically translate to Portuguese. Any idea whats wrong ?

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, As for now, it is only possible to use automatic translation from the default language to secondary languages. You would need to switch the default language to English again from WPML -> Languages and use the automatic translation (English -> Portuguese). Once the translations are completed you can change the default language again. Let me know if that works for you, Marsel
