Hi there.

The translations are saved into the database.

As long as the is correctly migrated from staging to production, the translations shouldn't be lost.

For migrating/duplicating sites, our recommendation is to use the following plugin:
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Documentation can be found here:
hidden link

Here is a small tutorial on how to use Duplicator:
hidden link

This should perfectly migrate your website maintaining the exact same setup and also taking care of the search and replace process so that the old links will be overwritten with the new URLs of the new domain you are migrating to (in case you are also changing the domain and not only the server).

I hope that you will find this helpful 🙂 I use only Duplicator each time I want to migrate WP websites. They also have a premium version but if you don't have a huge website with a huge database, the free version should work fine.

Good luck and have an amazing rest of the day!

Kind regards,
