daivyM	Background of the issue: I have an e-commerce website translated into French and want to translate it into other languages. My strategy involves exporting products via WP All Export in CSV format, translating them in Google Sheets, and importing the translations using WP All Import while linking each translation to its original content. I found documentation suggesting the use of fields _wpml_import_translation_group, _wpml_import_language_code, and _wpml_import_source_language_code for this process. Symptoms: The method of exporting existing French product categories, translating them, and updating the fields _wpml_import_translation_group, _wpml_import_language_code, and _wpml_import_source_language_code does not seem to work. Questions: Is it possible to use WP All Export to export existing French translations with WPML fields and re-import them using WP All Import? Is the approach of using _wpml_import_translation_group, _wpml_import_language_code, and _wpml_import_source_language_code correct? Is this process supposed to work at all?

daivyM	I managed to solve my problem using WP Sheet Editor rather than WP All import.
