Background of the issue:
I am trying to use my credits to translate blog posts. The issue can be seen at this link: hidden link

Symptoms:
I have credits available but it won't let me use them. I expect to be able to use my credits, but it tells me I have none available. I can't translate my articles easily. Every time I use this tool I have issues.

Questions:
Why can't I use my available credits?
How can I resolve the issue of the tool telling me I have no credits available?

Hi there.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this, and I'm here to help you resolve it.

Those credits probably got stuck.

So, please let me explain why I think this situation with the credits might be happening.

When you initially install and set up WPML, an automatic translation account ID is created.

If you uninstall/reset WPML or reinstall/set WordPress from scratch, a new automatic translation account ID will be generated, and the credits will remain in the old account.

On this page (https://wpml.org/account), can you click the "add/remove credits” button and move the credits back to your WPML.org account?

Then, please go here (https://wpml.org/account/sites/) > remove the current site key > generate a new one > then go to your website's backend > Plugins > Add new > Commercial > UNregister WPML from the old key > RE-register WPML with the new key.

Now, you can re-add the credits to your site by following the steps here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-assign-automatic-translation-credits-to-your-sites/

Please let me know if that works fine for you.
