Background of the issue:
I want to start automatically translating my product pages using the Advanced Translation Editor. Currently, my website is set to use the Classic Translation Editor. I already have many products translated.

Symptoms:
Not applicable.

Questions:
Is it safe to switch from the Classic Translation Editor to the Advanced Translation Editor without losing my existing translations?
Is it possible by default, or do I need to take extra steps to preserve my existing translations?

Hi there.

I think you might find the information shared by my colleague in this existing ticket (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translations-lost-when-switched-to-advanced-editor/) helpful.

Please take a look.
