Background of the issue:
I’m working on a WordPress site using WPML and I’ve run into a licensing limitation. I only have access to one WPML key, and it's tied to the live (production) domain through an 'end-user' account — meaning I can’t generate additional keys for development or staging. I’ve finished building and testing the site on a development domain (only in French for now). I’d like to migrate this French-only site to production. Then, I’ll put the live site in maintenance mode, and activate WPML on the production domain (where the key works). From there, I’ll add English and do all the translations directly on the live site.
Symptoms:
Licensing limitation with WPML, unable to generate additional keys for development or staging.
Questions:
Is it a good idea to migrate than translate?
Has anyone done something like this before?
Would you recommend this approach?
Any risks I’m overlooking?
