WPML All Import

WPML All Import

WPML (WordPress Multilingual) offers integration with the WP All Import plugin, allowing you to import and synchronize multilingual content into your WordPress website. WP All Import is a powerful plugin that simplifies the process of importing data, including posts, pages, custom post types, and custom fields, into WordPress. When used together with WPML, you can import multilingual content and manage translations more efficiently. Here’s how WPML and WP All Import work together:

1. Install and activate WPML and WP All Import: Begin by installing and activating both the WPML and WP All Import plugins on your WordPress website. Make sure you have the necessary versions of each plugin for compatibility.

2. Set up your WPML languages: Configure your languages in WPML, specifying the default language and any additional languages you want to use for your multilingual site. This ensures that WPML is ready to handle translations during the import process.

3. Prepare your import file: Create or obtain your import file, which should contain the data you want to import into WordPress. WP All Import supports various file formats, such as XML, CSV, and Excel. Ensure that your import file includes the necessary language-specific data for each translation, such as post titles, content, and any custom fields.

4. Map the fields for translation: In the WP All Import interface, you’ll find a mapping section where you can match the fields in your import file with the corresponding fields in your WordPress posts or custom post types. For language-specific fields that require translation, you can specify the appropriate WPML language code to indicate the translations.

5. Import the multilingual content: Once you’ve mapped the fields, you can proceed with the import process using WP All Import. The plugin will create the necessary posts or custom post types in WordPress and associate the translations with WPML. WP All Import will also handle the synchronization of translations, ensuring that the imported content is properly linked and managed by WPML.

6. Manage translations in WPML: After the import, you can use the WPML Translation Management interface to manage the translations of the imported content. WPML provides tools for assigning translators, tracking translation progress, and manually translating content. You can also leverage WPML’s translation services or other translation methods to streamline the translation workflow.

By combining WPML with WP All Import, you can efficiently import and manage multilingual content in your WordPress site. This integration simplifies the process of importing large amounts of data and ensures that the translations are synchronized and properly handled by WPML.

It’s important to consult the documentation and support resources of both WPML and WP All Import for detailed instructions, best practices, and troubleshooting specific to your setup.
