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

Problem:
The client wants to perform automatic translation from English to Japanese, but is unsure if it's possible to automatically translate from a non-default language to another language, as they can only translate from Japanese to English.
Solution:
We explained that automatic translation is only available from the primary language to other languages. Therefore, in the client's case, automatic translation is possible from Japanese, which is set as the primary language. For more information, we provided a link to our documentation on automatic translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your specific case. If this is the case, we encourage you to open a new support ticket.
