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

Problem:
The client inquired about the possibility of integrating Google Translate to dynamically translate website URLs that are rarely used, and whether this would interfere with WPML. They also wanted to know if there's a way to calculate the costs associated with using WPML's automatic translation feature.
Solution:
We informed the client that it is not possible to integrate Google Translate in parallel with WPML. However, we suggested that they can prioritize available translation engines within WPML, which allows for fallback to the next preferred engine if the top choice does not support a certain language pair. We provided documentation links for changing automatic translation engines:

For calculating the costs of automatic translation, we directed the client to another guide:
Automatic translation pricing, which includes a cost calculator.

Is it possible to parallel integrate Google Translate to dynamically translate Website via URL which are rarely used?
I think plugins will negativ interfer with wpml.

We could use dynamic links with auto-translations also to navigate to other pages. its may be enough to route all specific language-urls directly to the service.

If the user-count gets higher, we will translate the page with wpml.

Alternativley we like to determine how much costs/tickets we need if we decide to use auto-translate function from wpml. Is there a way to sum all necessary things to calculate it?

Thank you

Hello Frank,

Thank you for contacting the support.

Well it is not possible to parallel integrate Google Translate with WPML but you can prioritize available Translation Engines in WPML. Automatic translation engines differ in translation style and supported language pairs. If your preferred translation engine does not support a language pair that you want to use, we fall back to your next preferred engine that does support it.

See https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-change-automatic-translation-engines/ and hidden link for details.

For automatic translation costs, please see this guide https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/. Here you can also calculate (almost) exact costs.

Regards.
