Background of the issue:
I'm trying to create an automatic translation of portfolio items on my site hidden link using WPML.

Symptoms:
I get this error: 'Sent for translation WPML cannot send some of the content to translation. Some of the content that you selected for translation includes fields that are encoded. Translators will not be able to work on this kind of content, so we removed it from the job. To fix this problem, please contact our support team and describe this issue. Open support ticket' and the job does not get created.

Questions:
How can I fix the issue with encoded fields preventing translation?
What steps should I take to successfully create a translation job for portfolio items?

Unfortunatelly this didn't help. My XML config also has come configs for image hotspots.

<wpml-config>
<shortcodes>
<shortcode>
<tag>fusion_image_hotspots</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute>image</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>
<shortcode>
<tag>fusion_image_hotspot_point</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute>long_title</attribute>
<attribute encoding="base64">long_text</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>
<!-- fusion_button -->
<shortcode>
<tag>fusion_button</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute type="link">link</attribute>
<attribute>title</attribute>
<attribute encoding="base64">dynamic_params</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>

<!-- fusion_imageframe -->
<shortcode>
<tag>fusion_imageframe</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute encoding="base64">dynamic_params</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>
</shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

I can add a language version to portfolio items from the WP Protfolios page, but not directly from the WPML plugin
