This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client wanted to deactivate translations temporarily to import properties in English without incurring additional translation costs. They were unsure if they should deactivate the WPML plugin or if there was another method.
Solution:
We advised the client against deactivating the WPML plugin as it could lead to confusion with unfiltered translations appearing on the site. Instead, we recommended changing the translation settings in WPML to 'Translate what you choose' from 'Translate everything automatically'. This adjustment can be made in WPML > Settings. This way, the client can control what gets translated and avoid unnecessary costs. Additionally, we provided a link to hide languages from the front end if needed: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/hiding-languages-on-the-front-end/
If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
