Hi,
We are trying to import some translated products with WP All Import, but we cannot get the translated products to link to products in the default language, they are just created as new products.

We have tried reading your guide ( https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/importing-multiple-languages-with-wp-all-import -and-wpml/ ) through up to several times and have done as you write but does not seem to work.

We have some products in Danish that were created before we got WPML installed.
We have tried to make an import of the Danish products where we import sku and title where sku is the unique ID. We have tried using this import to connect the Swedish import with the Danish products, but it does not seem to work.
We use the sku number for the unique number in imports.

Hello,

thanks for contacting us.

The correct workflow would be:

- Export your default language products
- Delete them from website
- Import your default language products using unique ID column as suggested in our docs, not SKU
- Import your 2nd language products and connect to first import and choose same unique IDs/column

then it should work fine.

Can you please confirm you have followed this workflow and if issue still happens in this case? Since it is not clear to me from your reply.
