WPML post translation options

Advanced Translation Editor vs Classic Translation Editor

ATE breaks translations of a post into small bits that can be translated independently in a new UI whereas CTE translates each post as a whole in the traditional post editing UI (Classic Editor and Block Editor).

Choose default post translation method: 

Can be overridden on a per post basis:

  2. to be export as XLIFF files to be sent to external translators who will send them back translated to be imported to WordPress.
