inesd-5	Hi, I have a site with a large number of categories and complicated hierarchy. I have translations for most of the articles on the site, but I need to now create translated versions of the taxonomy also. So far I have tried doing this in two ways, both seem to be broken. - Importing as a batch using WPML / All Import: categories imported but failed to be associated with the "base" translation. - Creating manually using the Taxonomy Translation screen: categories were correctly associated with "base" translation, but hierarchies were not preserved. I used "Hierarchy synchronisation" but it didn't help. Can you confirm that it's possible to create translated versions of taxonomies, while preserving hierarchy?

Hi, I have a site with a large number of categories and complicated hierarchy. I have translations for most of the articles on the site, but I need to now create translated versions of the taxonomy also.

So far I have tried doing this in two ways, both seem to be broken.

- Importing as a batch using WPML / All Import: categories imported but failed to be associated with the "base" translation.

- Creating manually using the Taxonomy Translation screen: categories were correctly associated with "base" translation, but hierarchies were not preserved. I used "Hierarchy synchronisation" but it didn't help.

Can you confirm that it's possible to create translated versions of taxonomies, while preserving hierarchy?
