    Hi,

    I have over 9000 listings in my directory already – and growing. Just added a second language using WPML, but from what I have been reading it seems I would need to manually translate page-by-page.
    The thing is my listings have no language-specific content – name, URL, phone etc are language agnostic. Hence, I would prefer to keep a single version of the listings and from regardless of the language this would be displayed. Is this possible?
    Otherwise, is there a way to automate the process of generating translations by duplicating the original?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    You can achieve this by doing anyone of following:

    1)
    – Translate all CPT categories (ex: place categories) from CPT (ex: Places) > Categories
    – Go to WPML > Translation Management > Translation Dashboard > Select CPT (ex: Place) from “All Types” filter > choose “translated to” > Click “Filter”
    – Select listings > Tick “Duplicate content” > Click “Add selected content to translation basket”

    2)
    – Export listings csv from GeoDirectory > Import/Export
    – copy values from “post_id” column to “original_post_id” column
    – set language code in “language” column (ex: if you want to translate it to french then set “fr”)
    – blank all values for “post_id” column
    – Import CSV

    Let us know.

    Thanks,
    Kiran
