Hello,

How may I copy spells (for translating them) along with automatism when I place them in PC's sheet (damage, save, etc.)?

It seems that if I translate the spell's description, it doesn't work.

Indeed, since the effects are created using the language in the spell. If you change that then FG will no longer be able to work out what the actions needed are. Some spells are hard coded and if you keep the title of the spell the same those effects should still work; but won't if you change the title.

I would suggest adding the translation below the English spell description. There are parts of the spell descriptions you could delete, but probably easier to just leave it all.

It works but not with all the spells.
Mage armor, for example, doesn't work.

I think Mage Armour is one of those that's hard coded (since there's no language which will create the effect). So in that case the effect is built into the ruleset and uses the spell name to find the effect; so the name of the spell needs to be mage armour. I don't think the text of the spell matters.

Hey I have enough trouble remembering to type weird spelling in official modules; I don't need to do it in the forums as well ;)
