Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi there. I am not sure what page builder you are using for this new site but as long as what you are using is compatible with WPML, you should be able to use the automatic translation function to translate all your site automatically by following the steps in our documentation and the structure of the content should be maintained in the translated versions, too: - https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/ - https://wpml.org/changelog/2021/10/wpml-4-5-translate-all-of-your-sites-content-with-one-click/ I also recommend creating a full website backup before starting the process. If you ever encounter any specific issues, please do not hesitate to open a new ticket per each unique issue so that we can properly focus on each reported situation. I hope that you will find this information helpful. Mihai Apetrei
