Tell us what you are trying to do?

Hi, I am trying to find a solution to export and import back all contents of the website.

#1 case: The reason why is that I will have to add new countries to the language selector, such as Canada, Ireland - but language will stay English. So basically I would like to duplicate the existing content into "new languages"
Is there an easy way to do this?

2#case:
I will have to add Slovakian language to the website and I would like to export all content to our translation agency, in xcliff filetype. They give it back as xcliff files which i then can import back. How can I achieve this?

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

Thanks for your contact.

About how to export and import your multilingual content, we have a partnership with the WP All Import and Export plugins:

- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/
- https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/export-multilingual-websites-using-wp-all-export-wpml/

But in the case of just duplicating the original English to its variations (Irish, Canadian, etc), you can follow this more simple method: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#how-to-duplicate-pages-and-posts-in-bulk

And regarding the XLIFF files, this is also possible. Please check our doc related: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-desktop-cat-tools/configuring-xliff-file-options/

Kindly take a look on these docs, and don't hesitate in asking if you still have doubts. Thank you.

Regards,
Mateus
