innovexA	Background of the issue: I am working on transferring a website with multiple product pages and other content, all translated into Arabic, to a new domain. The design is changing, but the WPML plugin and translated content will remain the same. Symptoms: No specific issue or error message mentioned. Questions: How can I transfer all the website translations to the new domain?

Lauren WPML Supporter since 10/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/New_York (GMT-04:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with first debugging steps or if I can perhaps help with the issue quickly. If you are transferring to a development site to live site, then you can follow the documentation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/using-advanced-translation-editor-when-you-move-or-use-a-copy-of-your-site/ If you are changing the live domain, we recommended using the Duplicator plugin to migrate the site and handle the URL-replacing process. Documentation for Duplicator can be found at hidden link and a tutorial at hidden link. After migration, you should unregister WPML from the old domain and register it for the new domain. This involves logging into the WPML account, removing the old site, adding the new site, and using the new key provided in Plugins > Add new > Commercial. If the option to update the site key is not available, click "Unregister WPML from this site" and then re-register with the new key. Please let us know if you need any further assistance and we will be happy to help.
