Taxonomy auto translation

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

Problem:
The client is trying to auto-translate taxonomy terms for 'Amenities' in bulk, but cannot find the option in the WPML -> Translation Management filter dropdown. The client can see the terms in the manual translation section (WPML -> Taxonomy translation) but wants to translate all terms at once automatically, not one by one in all languages. The 'Amenities' taxonomy is already set as translatable in WPML -> Settings.

Solution:
We recommend creating a single post that includes all the 'Amenities' taxonomy terms. Then, translate this post using the WPML Translation Editor, which will allow for bulk translation of all taxonomy terms. This method also enables the use of automatic translations. For a step-by-step guide, please refer to our documentation:

But at WPML -> Translation Management I can not see this item in filter dropdown I can see those at manual translation (WPML -> Taxonomy translation section) but I need to translate all at once automatically, not one by one in all languages.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, The taxonomies will get translated together with the posts now in which they are used. You could create one post which has all taxonomies assigned to it, then translate this post with the WPML Translation Editor and you will be able to translate all taxonomies in bulk. This would further allow you to make use of automatic translations. Guide: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-all-taxonomy-terms-at-once/ Best regards Andreas
