Background of the issue:
I am trying to bulk auto translate some pages using WPML, but the process is not completing. I attempted to cancel the automated jobs and restart them, but the issue persists. I also tried translating just one page, but the problem remains. The issue can be seen at: hidden link
Symptoms:
The automatic translation process is stuck, showing 0/xx pages and continuously spinning without completing.
Questions:
Why is the automatic translation process stuck and not completing?
How can I resolve the issue of the translation process not progressing?
What I did is go to WPML > Translation Management> Send page for translation to myself, from WPML> Translation > Take and translate ,and it saves fine.
So I suspect there could be some difference in your staging vs live website as you mentioned in chat, if you can re-check with hosting.
can you maybe provide me also FTP access to live website and permission to disable plugins and switch themes? Please make sure to create a backup, before doing any actions, just in case.
I can have further look and try to see what might be causing it.
1) Credits are not charged twice, if you have translated already something, it is loaded from translation memory on our side, even if not delivered on your side. So you should not have issue, if you think there is an issue we can open new ticket for you later and check it out there.
2) I see you have object cache enabled, please disable it and your security plugin while doing the translations, then you can enable it back again.
Then send the page for translation again via WPML > Translation Management.
