[Resolved] when new customers CREATE THEIR ACCOUNT THE WPML Translator Settings "Send me a notification email...

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Currently, WPML does not provide an option to change this default profile behavior in its settings unless the user manually disables the option. If it is disabled, the meta key wpml_block_new_email_notifications with a value of 1 is automatically added to the current user’s entry in the wp_usermeta table.

If you’d like to enforce this setting programmatically for all new users, you can add the meta key during user account creation. Here’s a basic example to get you started:

function add_wpml_email_block_meta($user_id) {
    $meta_key = 'wpml_block_new_email_notifications';
    $meta_value = 1;

    // Add or update the user meta
    update_user_meta($user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value);
}
add_action('user_register', 'add_wpml_email_block_meta');

What this does:
• Adds the wpml_block_new_email_notifications meta key with a value of 1 to the wp_usermeta table.
• Uses update_user_meta() to ensure the value is set even if the key already exists.

Please note that this is only a starting point and hasn’t been tested. Custom development like this falls outside the scope of WPML support, so we recommend testing and adjusting the code as needed for your specific use case. I hope it helps.

Yes, you are correct. They will receive an email notification if there is something to translate. This means that if you send content from WPML → Translation Management and choose the first available translator, they will be notified.

You can also disable notifications by going to WPML → Settings → Translation Notifications.

Thank you for your feedback.

They will not receive notification emails for new translation jobs because their role is set to Customer.

If you want to ensure that the email notification option is unchecked for such users, you’ll need to handle it programmatically, as previously described.
