WPML to MultilingualPress

Convert posts from an existing WPML multilingual site via WXR Export/Import for MultilingualPress

<p><a href="http://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a> stores each entry as a separate post and uses some custom tables to connect the translations.<br />
If you de-activate the plugin or have issues with functionality related to version updates, you get one site with multi-lingual confusion.<br />
See <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/r3df/getting-word-press-to-speak-your-langauge/" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting WordPress to speak your language</a> for more details how /<br />
why using a WordPress MultiSite / Network is becomming the recommended strategy for multilingual sites. At least until it is fully supported in core.</p>
<p>This plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Converts the WPML translation records into meta fields on actual posts or post types</li>
<li>Helps with the export/import to your new WPMS site the data.</li>
<li>Restores the meta data back to options so that <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/" rel="ugc">Multisite Language Switcher</a> will recognize all your translations.</li>
</ul>
<p>You will need to handle conversion of any strings, .po files or other language elements separately.</p>
<h3>Download</h3>
<p>You can download the latest stable version of WPML2WPMSLS from the WordPress<br />
Plugin Repository at <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/WPML2WPMSLS/" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/plugins/WPML2WPMSLS/</a>></p>
<h3>Help and Support</h3>
<p>Please post questions, request for help to the WordPress plugin forum dedicated to it: <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/WPML2WPMSLS" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/WPML2WPMSLS</a>.</p>
<h3>TO-DO’s</h3>
<p>= Complete the enhancements for WordPress export. =<br />
Currently, if you have 100 posts translated into 3 languages, you would export all posts once, import that same .xml file into 3 sites and delete the 200 from each<br />
site which are not the corresponding language. Then, you would be able to run steps 7 and 8 of the usage instructions above. With an enhanced WordPress export feature<br />
built into this plugin you would be able to specify the language for export to filter files. In that same scenario, you would run 3 exports (100 posts each of unique<br />
language) and import each language-based export file into the new sites before running the same steps 11 thru 13 above.</p>
<h3>Source and Development</h3>
<p>WPML2WPMSLS welcomes friendly contributors wanting to lend a hand, be it in<br />
the form of code through SVN patches, user support, platform portability<br />
testing, security consulting, localization help, etc.</p>
<p>The [current] goal is to keep the plugin self-contained (ie: no 3rd-party lib)<br />
for easier security maintenance, while keeping the code clean and extensible.</p>
<p>Active development for the plugin is handled via GitHub with releases being published to the WordPress Plugin Repository:</p>
<ul>
<li>Development: <a href="https://github.com/Idealien/wpml2wpmsls/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/Idealien/wpml2wpmsls/</a></li>
<li>Stable:     <a href="http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wpml2wpmsls/trunk/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wpml2wpmsls/trunk/</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Project History</h3>
<p>Originally started because, well, you know…<a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/102420/geeks-versus-non-geeks-when-doing-repetitive-tasks-funny-chart/" rel="nofollow ugc">Efficiency or lazyness – your pick</a>.</p>
