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

Problem:
The client configured WPML on WordPress for English (en) and Spanish (es) languages. However, when attempting to send a translation job to Smartling, it appeared as successfully sent on WordPress, but an error message indicated an issue with sending the jobs. The error message stated that the service does not support translation from English.
Solution:
We escalated the issue to our 2nd Tier Support who discovered that the problem was due to incorrect language mappings. After updating the mappings to the correct settings, the issue was resolved. We recommend checking your language settings and ensuring they are correctly mapped.

We have configured WPML on wordpress to have two languages:
en and es.

However when trying to send a translation job, on wordpress it shows up as sent to smartling successfully. However checking this link (hidden link) which we get by visiting the Translation Dashboard > Translation Jobs in WPML I get the message `We encountered an issue while sending your jobs to the service. Our team is actively investigating the matter. If the issue can be resolved on our side, we will resend the jobs. However, if the problem requires further action, we will cancel the jobs and send you an email with detailed information. If you do not receive an email from us regarding this issue, please feel free to open a ticket on WPML Support forum, and our support team will assist you promptly.

Thanks for your patience. Our 2nd Tier Support checked, and the issue happened because of wrong language mapping. They have added the correct mappings and now the issue is resolved. Please check.
