At the moment, there are no new updates. I will keep you informed as soon as we have more information. The feature is currently on our roadmap, so it will require time for planning, analysis, and development before it becomes available.
However, this is creating a serious operational issue for us.
We are importing properties daily through scheduled Bitrix XML feed using WP All Import. Since scheduled imports are not automatically processed for translation, we now have to manually go to WPML → Translation Dashboard every single day, select all newly imported properties page by page, and send them for translation.
This process is not practical for a real estate website where properties are updated daily — including weekends. It is not feasible for us to manually trigger translations every day.
We need a permanent solution where:
• Scheduled imports are automatically sent for translation
OR
• WPML automatically processes new imported content without manual intervention
Kindly resolve this issue and provide a proper permanent workaround or fix. Our business operations depend on automatic multilingual publishing, and this manual process is not sustainable.
As mentioned, this feature is still in our development queue and will take some time to be implemented.
If you prefer, you may create custom code to achieve this functionality. However, please note that this would be outside the scope of our support. One possible approach would be to write code that triggers product updates when certain admin pages are visited. You can refer to a similar example here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/trigger-wpml-auto-translate-programmatically/#post-17811380. Keep in mind that this method would still require accessing the dashboard at least once per day.
I’ll share an update here as soon as I receive further feedback.
We completely understand that the feature is currently in your development queue. However, it would be very helpful if you could provide any of the following:
• An estimated timeline or expected release window
• A temporary workaround that can fully automate the translation process after imports
• Any recommended integration method with WP All Import that avoids daily manual intervention
This would greatly help us manage our workflow until a permanent solution is available.
Thanks
We will be unable to provide a timeline when the fix will be released as it depends upon various things.
Regarding workaround as I mentioned earlier
If you prefer, you may create custom code to achieve this functionality. However, please note that this would be outside the scope of our support.

I would suggest you to go to WPML->Settings->Posts and pages synchronization and enable "When deleting a post, delete translations as well".
If the above doesn't help, I suggest you to open a new ticket for further debugging.
Every ticket is reserved for resolving one specific matter, ensuring focused support, streamlined communication, and high-quality service. Therefore, please open new tickets for your other concerns.
We already raised another ticket regarding this, but the response has been very slow. The issue is critical, scheduled imports delete only the original posts, leaving around 16,000 translations orphaned. Manual deletion is not feasible.
We urgently need a solution or workaround to automatically delete translations when original posts are removed. Please escalate this.
Yesterday i have given the access and xml feed to another agent regarding this issue. Today, the properties are still not being imported via WP All Import, and this is seriously affecting our business since our listings depend entirely on this feed. At the moment, all our properties have disappeared from our website. Could you please clarify what has happened and whether any action has been taken on their side?
I am not getting response from that ticket. Please help me to solve this issue immediately.
