Problem: The client is planning to translate a large website with multiple Custom Post Types and a very large number of Custom Fields and needs to know the best practices for such a project and how to estimate the costs for translation using Pay-Per-Translation Credits (PTC). Solution: To estimate the required translation credits, we recommend marking all relevant content under WPML > Translation Dashboard and sending it for automatic translation. Before confirming, an estimate of the cost in credits will be displayed. However, this is still an estimate and might differ from the actual required credits, especially if not all Custom Fields are included in the calculation. To better control costs, initially send the content for automatic translation via WPML > Translation Dashboard without activating the 'Translate Everything' option. You can calculate expected costs on this page once an estimate is available: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/. Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. 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. If this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket.
