aliceC	Background of the issue: I am trying to create a site translation in Chile language, which is supposed to be a duplicate from Spanish. I am using WPML for this task on the site hidden link. Symptoms: I find no way to bulk translate/duplicate Taxonomies from Spanish to Chile since the only option available is to sync from English or manually copy from from default language 'Italian' in the Taxonomy Translation section. Questions: How can I translate or duplicate taxonomies from Spanish to Chile using WPML?

So, I've transformed this chat into a support ticket because you may still need our help. If you have further questions about the workaround to translate taxonomies from Spanish into Chile, please reply here. For other issues, please open a new ticket in our forum. Regards, Itamar.

aliceC	Hi Itamar, I tried the workaround solution on some taxonomies and it worked initially. I then proceeded to apply this to all taxonomies but I mistakenly did that in default language. now all taxonomies in Chile have been replaced by Italian (default). When I am trying to replace the taxonomies by spanish, i.e. Spanish to Chile, it's not working. Is there any way to remove/delete all taxonomies in Chile and re-do the process in Spanish language? Thank you, Regards

Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Yes, there is a way to delete the taxonomies in any language. 1. Go to Posts -> Categories (or Tags). 2. Switch to the Chile language. (You can use the Language Switcher at the top admin bar or the languages links above the terms table.) 3. Select the terms you want to delete. 4. In the Bulk action dropdown option, select Delete and click Apply. Regards, Itamar.

aliceC	Hi! Unfortunately the issue still persists, actually using this workaround its taking most of the duplicated categories from default langauge (Italian). Also the categories' levels are not duplicated as they were in original language. i.e. all catetories are duplicated at same level (meaning sub-categories become main categories). I tried to resolve it but unfortunately can't find a way. if its possible I can proivde access to dev site so you can have a look? Regards,

I'm not sure how it is possible unless you didn't follow the workaround in the correct way. Also the categories' levels are not duplicated as they were in original language. i.e. all catetories are duplicated at same level (meaning sub-categories become main categories). You need to sync the taxonomies hierarchy. Please read about it here. https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-post-categories-and-custom-taxonomies/#sync-taxonomy-structure If you need further help with this, please share the access details to your site with me.
