Compatibility between WordPress Importer plugin and WPML
WordPress Importer is compatible with WPML. The official importer brings posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, tags, and media into a site from a WordPress export file. It works alongside WPML, so imported content can then be assigned to a language and translated like any other content on your site.
