ivarV-10	2) Polylang-to-WPML Migration Issues: I followed the migration procedure to move product translations from Polylang to WPML. However, only a handful of product translations migrated correctly. Most of them had errors (possibly related to the server issues mentioned) and were not retrieved as expected. As a result, I was forced to rely on the automatic translation feature—which, as noted above, has not worked reliably. This process has cost me a significant amount of extra time and effort.

The server only provides automatic translation. But here we are talking about a migration from Polylang, so the content should already be translated. Can you please elaborate on the steps you took to do the migration and the results that you got? Best Regards, Otto
