I am using WPML Export & Import to transfer blog posts, including all language versions, from one WordPress instance to another. Here is the process I followed:
Installed WPML Export & Import on the source WordPress instance.
Went through the initial setup and chose the standard WordPress export.
Exported the posts using the default WordPress export function.
Installed WPML Export & Import on the target WordPress instance.
Imported the XML export file.
Ran WPML Export & Import, which completed without errors.
All translations of the blog posts were successfully imported. In the “Posts” section, each language version is listed correctly. When I open a post in German, the language switcher correctly indicates that other translations are available. However, when switching to French, for example, the English version appears instead of the French one.
Only after opening the French translation and manually clicking "Complete" does it display correctly when selecting French. Since I have around 200 posts, each with up to three languages, manually completing approximately 600 translations is not feasible.
Is there a way to resolve this issue without manually finalizing each translation?
