This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is uncertain whether the WPML Translation Management plugin is still necessary for working with XLIFF files, given that it has been labeled a legacy add-on since WPML version 4.5.
Solution:
If you're experiencing similar confusion about the necessity of the WPML Translation Management plugin for handling XLIFF files, we recommend understanding that in the current version of WPML, the "Translation Management" functionality is integrated within the WPML Multilingual CMS. Therefore, the separate add-on is no longer required for exporting and importing XLIFF files.
This solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
