Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a website with 4 languages.
/au
/us
/uk
/nz

Imagine I have the same /us content everywhere for now, everything is duplicated.

Is there a list of words that I can import where US english words can automatically be changed to Australian english words?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
no

Is there a similar example that we can see?
no

What is the link to your site?
Its currently in development but the issue is self explanatory.

Hi there!

For this purpose you can use the glossary, however at the moment you can't "retranslate" the content so it adds these glossaries BUT we have excellent news for you: We're rolling out a feature in a few weeks that will help you do this! it will allow you to create a glossary and then set the glossary translations to all your past translations with the click of a button!

the feature is set to be rolled out at the end of february so in the meantime you can start building your glossaries and get prepared for when we roll out that feature.

Otherwise, for now you can access each translation and change the words yourself (but the first step is the same: build the glossary first).

Thank you for your answer. This glossary might be what we need and I'll look more into it.

But about that list of words, does WPML provide that anywhere? or Any recommendations on where to get it from?

Can you also upload a json with a list of words?

The uploading of content is a feature request and i'm adding that to the list.

We currently do not provide anything like lists or similar because there are so many use cases that it would probably end up being time consuming for the users to scroll and see what is useful to you or not, not to mention it's a not a simple task to achieve. however this only means we haven't "cracked the case" yet but we're working to improve our current features.

We are constantly seeking ways to improve and these types of feedback help us understand what to give priority to 🙂

Regards.
