That was not my intention. Perhaps there is a language barrier as English is my second (or third) language.

To automate something to me means getting the same result without me manually having to do it.

Like hiring a professional to translate a document for me. I’d call that automation but I know now that’s incorrect.

Ah, that's understandable then.

As someone else said in another comment, passing the work off to another human is usually referred to as "outsourcing". Automation typically refers to passing the work off to a robot or computer.
