Can it be done and what's the best way to export for editing, and then later import a file with a specific language version translation into WPML?

Does WPML allow for promoting a product only in specific language versions? How can this be managed?

Hello,

In the past, this was only possible with the WP All Import / WP All Export plugins and our WPML ALL Import Addon:

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/

Now, we just released a new plugin, that allows you to import and export WPML translation with almost any import plugin or export, but it is still in alpha version and not suggested for live sites yet. I would like to invite you to test it.

Please read this:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-export-and-import/

If you want to publish content in only one language, you can simply change the language in the top admin bar and create your content.

This will allow you to create original content in any active language.

Only take note, that if you want to use the "Translate Everything automatically" feature of WPML, then this will only work for content that originally was created in the site default language that is set up inside WPML.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards
Andreas

Can you explain to me step by step how to export and import pages and products only in a selected language?

Hello,

I would suggest you read this documentation, as this is explainer in detail here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-export-and-import/

With this new import plugin, you need to create import files that include language columns for the original source language, the target language, and the post status.

Then you run your import with your import plugin of choice and after that go to WPML→ Export and Import which will then set the language of the content and build connections.

If you wish I can offer a WPML test site on which we can test this with an example content from your site.

Best regards
Andreas
