joaquimP-2	Hello wpml, Please can you explain me how to Export and import one languaje done in a site with wpml to another site? This other site will be based in the original languaje "Spanish" to do the translations. Later once the translations will be done with ATE, I want to change the default languaje of default from Spanish to English. I mean I want copy the languaje Spanish from web A to web B. Can be done also in parts? I mean only the categories and later I will do the products and the rest of pages ? thanks, Joaquín Candle Art

Eran Helzer Supporter Languages: English (English ) Hebrew (עברית ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+03:00)	Hi Joaqin, To export and import content from one site to another, you need two things: - To export your content, either manually by copying and pasting content or by using a plugin like WP All Export (https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/export-multilingual-websites-using-wp-all-export-wpml/) - To import your content you need to use the WP All Import plugin There is a nice detailed explanation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/#importing-content-in-one-language Regarding categories or other taxonomies you want to import, the process is very similar. It is creating a file with the taxonomy terms, manually or with a plugin, and using WP All Import to import the file. There is a detailed explanation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/importing-multiple-languages-with-wp-all-import-and-wpml/#step-2-create-your-taxonomies-in-wordpress If you want to use other plugins to export/import your content, these are good options: - https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/transfer-wpml-translations-from-one-site-to-another-with-wp-sheet-editor/ - https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/import-export/ If you have any more questions or something was not clear, please do not hesitate to ask.
