WP All Import Multilingual doesn't import variations for second lang correctly

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

To import multilingual variable products with WP All Import and WPML, you need to start with adding a Unique Identifier column to your spreadsheets. This allows WPML All Import to link your variable products with their translations. It is important that you use an ID number, not the SKU or other custom fields.

Next, you should import any taxonomies, including variable attributes, to your site. After this you can import the multilingual variable products.

You can see a step-by-step guide on the page about importing variable products in multiple languages.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

So in this case the correct procedure would be - create Attributes for both languages before any import and be sure they have different slugs as explained here https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/#importing-posts-with-taxonomies - import Estonian .csv - import English .csv I found that using attributes created by previous import doesn't work, so I'm going to try creating attributes from scratch.
