This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is developing a site and needs to auto-translate product titles that are in Lithuanian, a language not available on their website, into English.
Solution:
We recommended creating a Lithuanian language option for the purpose of importing products and then auto-translating them to other languages. The client can hide the Lithuanian language from the website's front end and set English as the default language after completing the translations. For ongoing product imports, the client can use the WPML Translation Management Dashboard to automatically translate batches of content. Additionally, we advised the client to use the WPML translation memory to leverage previous translations and reduce costs. For more details on using automatic translation with custom languages, visit https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/using-automatic-translation-with-custom-languages/.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
