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

Problem:
The client is experiencing issues with the automatic translation of new WooCommerce products from Dutch to English or German using WPML. Despite updating the credit card information for the pay-as-you-go service, some parts of the products are only partially translated, requiring manual intervention to complete translations.

Solution:
We recommend the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Reconnect to WPML.org: Navigate to WPML → Support and re-authenticate or re-login to ensure your site is properly linked to your WPML account and credits.
2. Check Translation Credits: In WPML → Translation Management → Automatic Translation, verify that you have available credits and there are no warning messages about your pay-as-you-go plan.
3. Clear Caches: Clear all caches if your site uses caching plugins or server-side cache, as old cache can interfere with translation jobs.
4. Translation Jobs Review: In WPML → Translations, check if jobs are assigned to local translators (not automatic) and reassign them for automatic translation.
5. Test Automatic Translation: In WPML → Translation Management, select a few new products and send them for automatic translation. After a few minutes, verify if all fields are fully translated.
6. Ensure all custom fields and product attributes are set to be translatable in WPML → Settings → Custom Fields Translation.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to manually inspect product translation jobs for inconsistencies, especially focusing on which specific product fields remain untranslated and whether they are configured for translation in WPML settings. Additionally, ensure that the site is correctly registered and showing a connection with the correct WPML.org account.

If the problem persists, 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. Should these steps not provide a resolution, please open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to automatically translate new products in WooCommerce from Dutch to English or German using WPML on my site hidden link. The only recent change was updating the credit card number for the pay-as-you-go service.

Symptoms:
The automatic translation feature is not working correctly anymore. Some parts of the product are translated, but a lot of information remains in Dutch. The translation only works when I manually click on the text line and select the part translation.

Questions:
Why is the automatic translation not working correctly anymore?
Could the change in credit card information affect the translation service?

Hello,
My name is Carlos, and I will continue working on this ticket

1.- Please update the WPML plugins in Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab -> Click on the button to look for updates

2.- Once the WPML plugins are up-to-date, then follow these steps:
- Edit one of the products in the original language -> Make a small change to the content and save the changes
- Go to WPML -> Translation Dashboard -> Select the product and send it for automatic translation
- Double-check if the issue disappeared

Can you tell me the results of the steps described above?
