[Resolved] Set WPML element translation type from duplicate to translate (API)

Hi,

Since your plugin can't handle importing new translations via WP All import (When not imported parent language), I try to find a way myself.

What I did is duplicating all the posts (products) when there translation_type was set to 0.

My question is how I can remove the link from the duplicate now? It is the same action as clicking the "Translate independently" button (see screenshot). From there, all the translations have an own ID. With this ID I am able to update the translation bulkwise using WP All import.

btw. Why do you not implement a function like this in WP All Import? Now it's not very user friendly as it needs the parent import document.....

If you have a better way of doing this. Please let me know.

My code:

https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_element_translation_type/
https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_admin_make_post_duplicates/

function duplicateProductsTranslate() {
$products_IDs = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
));

while ($products_IDs->have_posts() ) : $products_IDs->the_post();
$productID = get_the_ID();
$translationStatus = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_translation_type', NULL, $productID, 'post' );
if($translationStatus == 0){
do_action( 'wpml_admin_make_post_duplicates', $productID );
}
endwhile;
}
