This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is running a multisite network and wants to show translations for zh-hans on the main site (finalto.com/zh-hans/) as well as on a subsite (finalto.com/sg/).
Solution:
We explained that WPML can be used on multisite setups, but each subsite will have a separate WPML installation and configuration. Translations cannot be connected between subsites. To display Chinese translations on another subsite, the client needs to export them from one subsite and import them into the other. However, it's important to note that the content will not be connected and each subsite will handle its content with its own WPML.
We recommended checking our documentation on multisite support: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/multisite-support/
Additionally, we suggested using the following plugin for exporting and importing translations: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-export-and-import/

I am running a multisite network and have made translations for zh-hans. I want to show these translations on finalto.com/zh-hans/ and on the subsite finalto.com/sg/. Is this possible?

Is this possible to do in WPML?

Hello,

You can use WPML on multisite setups, whether you want WPML on the whole network or just individual subsites. Each subsite acts as the individual website and will have separate WPML install and configuration. You can not connect translation between subsites.

If you have installed WPML on subsite finalto.com, you can set up WPML and use zh-hans there, etc.

Please check our docs:

Let us know if any doubts or questions.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,

You can use WPML only on each subsite of the network.

To display the Chinese translations on another subsite, you will need to export them from one subsite and import them into the other one.

Take note, that those contents will not be connected. Each subsite handles its content with WPML.

We are offering the following plugin for exporting and importing translations:
