Hello,

We are creating a website which has 4 lenguages. The website and its products will be translated automatically. I have created all categories and attributes and created 3 sample products in order to generate a CSV using WPAllExport/Import .

Some products have a different lenguage based on currency. That is also setup correctly and works.

What is the best practice to create a export file. Is it possible to have the 3 price fields on the CSV. Is there a way that it auto generate the translations? Or is there a way to setup the stylesheet to auto-create the other 3 lenguages variants?

My idea is to create the simple method which requires less manual work after the update.

Have in mind that products will use automatic WPML Translations.

Thank you

Hello!

I'll help you get started while a supporter takes your case

The questions you are asking seem to be more on the WP All Import side of the situation, not so much on the WPML front.

If you follow our import/export guide here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-all-import-plugin-website-import-with-wpml/ you'll be able to know the things to bear in mind when you use that plugin with WPML.

If you have manually configured currency exchange rates in each product, then they will be there as a custom field and you have to make sure to map it correctly.

otherwise, the rates will be picked from the multicurrency setting in WooCommerce Multilingual.

If you have the site setup to translate automatically, then you will have it translated as soon as the products are imported in the default language of the site (they won't be automatically translated if you import them in a different language from the site's default language).

I hope that cleared out your doubts.

Hello, Thanks for your kind answer.

So If I import 500 products in the main lenguage which is german. With prices set on each currency and assigned by lenguage.

Once the 500 products are imported. Do I need to click on each product and create each translation or there is a smart way of doing this process? I noticed every time a create 1 product translation it takes fairly long on the backend editor to translate it.

Thank you

If I e.g. switch to Slovakian it takes me here:
hidden link which seems correct.

However none of the pages on hidden link work, it only shows blue screen, is this the issue?

Can you briefly switch to directories instead of domains and check any URL such as hidden link to see if this is about domains or something else?
