A few years ago, we announced that WPML launched an add-on for WP All Import<\/a> that helps you move multilingual content from one WordPress site to another. Even though many still use this add-on, the WPML team launched a brand new one that provides even better support for handling your multilingual content imports and exports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be asking why they didn\u2019t just go ahead and update the existing WP All Import add-on. It's because the new WPML Export & Import add-on plugin<\/a> is a more robust, universal<\/em> solution and provides a compatibility \u2018layer\u2019 for various third-party plugins, including WP All Import and Export, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Use This New Addon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To put it simply, other solutions include steps that make the process more challenging than it needs to be. For example, you might be required to make manual changes to import files and have to tediously reconnect primary and secondary language content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For large sites in particular, this can get challenging and time-consuming. With the new add-on, you no longer have to worry about such steps. Instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Simply install and activate the addon on both the site you\u2019re exporting from<\/em> and the one you\u2019re importing to<\/em>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When you export your content, it works in the background to add language information to the CSV or XML file you generate. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • After importing, all you\u2019ll need to do is run the addon again, and WPML will do the work to make sure all your content is properly connected and cleaned up. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    See It in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Here is an example of how you can use WP All Import Pro (and its WooCommerce add-on) and WPML Export and Import for importing WooCommerce products into your multilingual store from a spreadsheet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
