[Resolved] why the deepl and wpml-ai can not translate English to traditional chinese language？
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating content from English to Traditional Chinese using WPML AI and DeepL. The client found that these services do not support translations into Traditional Chinese. Solution: We confirmed that WPML AI currently supports only English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. DeepL supports Chinese (Simplified) but not Traditional Chinese. For translating into Traditional Chinese, we recommend using the Microsoft translation engine, which supports this language pair and is cost-effective. Additionally, we offered to open a feature request to potentially include Traditional Chinese in DeepL and WPML AI in the future. For more details on supported language pairs, please visit: https://ate.wpml.org/mt_langs If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate content from English to other languages like Traditional Chinese and Spanish using WPML on my site hidden link.
Symptoms:
The DeepL and WPML-AI features are not translating English to Traditional Chinese.
Questions:
Why can't DeepL and WPML-AI translate English to Traditional Chinese?
Languages: English (English )Spanish (Español )German (Deutsch )

Hello,
WPML AI yet only supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. We will be adding more language pairs in the future.
DeepL is sadly only available for Chinese (Simplified). The only engine that offers this language pair with WPML currently is Microsoft. This further is the cheapest engine with costs of 1 credit per word.
More details: hidden link
Now, I see that DeepL seems to actually support Chinese (Traditional): hidden link
If you wish, I can open a feature request and consult our product manager about the possibility if we could add the language.
Please let me know if you would like to me forward such a feature request.
l have just operated with deepl to translate the title into traditional Chinese.But it failed.when l use the wpml-ai tools, so many language it doesn't support.
Languages: English (English )Spanish (Español )German (Deutsch )

Yes, as I said, this is expected, as at the moment our engines of DeepL and WPML AI are not supporting Chinese (Traditional).
You can use the Microsoft engine to translate into this language.
If you wish, I can open a feature request to include Chinese (Traditional) into DeepL. I can not promise that this will be made possible, but I can open an internal escalated ticket.
