rachaelH	<b>Background of the issue: </b> I am trying to upload over 2400 manual translations for my site, with 800+ translations per language. I am looking for the best way to do this using WPML. <b>Symptoms: </b> I haven't been able to find any helpful documentation on how to upload these translations. <b>Questions: </b> What is the best way to upload over 2400 manual translations using WPML? Is there any sort of automated upload for translations in WPML? Does each word/translation need to be uploaded manually in WPML?

rachaelH	This doesn't seem to address the issue. I need to upload a list of words with alternate translations, these articles do not show me how to do that. Is it even possible to upload a mass list of vocabulary and assign alternate words/translations to it?

Andrey Supporter Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+02:00)	The glossary should meet your needs; however, importing the list of words with alternative translations is currently impossible. For more information on how to use the glossary for accurate translations, please refer to the following links: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/how-to-create-and-manage-glossary-entries/ https://wpml.org/announcements/2024/08/how-to-get-better-translations-using-wpml-glossary/
