Background of the issue:
I am trying to upload translations with XLIFF on my site hidden link using WPML.

Symptoms:
The taxonomies aren't being added to the translation when I upload translations with XLIFF.

Why aren't the taxonomies being added to the translation when I upload translations with XLIFF?

Hi there,

I can see you have another ticket open regarding the taxonomies, are these 2 related?
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/i-need-help-regarding-taxonomy/

After uploading through XLIFF, if you edit and update are the taxonomies showing up?

Also, are your taxonomies currently fully translated? Go to WPML->Taxonomies translation and verify, please.

HI,
Thanks for your reply.
The issue that i am facing when i am uploading the translations with xliff the translated cpts/post are not assigned to the taxonomies. I need to go to each post and save the main language version then the taxonomies are being assigned. As i have a lot of posts over 1k+ and have five langauages it is not possible to go to each post and update. PS: all my taxonomies are translated into all the languages.

Thank you for updating me!

It looks like the connection is made when imported if they show once you update. What the update is doing it's forcing the database to update as well which showcases the changes you introduced (importing translations ).

A "quick" (in terms of saving debugging time )solution might be to do the following:

- Go to posts
- Click at the top of the window "display options" and increase the posts displayed to let's say 100
- Bulk select them
- Quick edit them and simply click on "update"

This will trigger a bulk update.

Another option if that does not work is to do the following (you might want to try this one first actually ):

go to WPML->Support->Troubleshooting and click on the following:

- clear the cache in WPML

- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
- fix element_type collation
- fix WPML tables collation
- set language information
- fix terms count

Let me know your results, please.

NOTE: Always have a recent and working backup before making any changes recommended by our team or a 3rd party

I got your message on the other thread we had going on, in that case skip step #1 since we know bulk update does not work and try the troubleshooting actions, please.
