This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
[Wp All Import] When I update existing items in the default language, I cannot match the imported translations with them. The imported translations are not connected to the original items in the default language.
Solution:
This happens because the step to include the unique identifier is not there. However, this is not a bug. It is like that by design from WP All Import.

To add translations when default language content already exists on the site:
1. Export your default language content using WP All Export.
2. Edit the newly created CSV to add a column for the unique identifier.
3. Delete the original content from the site.
4. Import the default language CSV file with the unique identifier column. Make sure to import it as New items.
Once the default language file has been imported, you can continue with your secondary language file, as previously explained.
