WPML Export and Import v5.3.0
= Requires WPML 5.3.0.
With Translate Everything on, importing duplicated terms no longer re-opens taxonomies for automatic translation.
The export and import screens of WordPress, WooCommerce, WP All Import, WP All Export and WP Import Export show only the WPML Export and Import notice from WPML's plugins, not unrelated WPML and WooCommerce Multilingual notices.
WP All Import imports of translated WooCommerce products no longer copy the original product's variations into the translation.
WP Import Export background imports keep the imported posts as drafts until you run WPML Import.
The WP-CLI 'wp export' command writes the language of categories and tags, so an import keeps the translated terms instead of rebuilding them.
The import steps that set the language of terms and attributes count their remaining work with one query, which makes large imports faster.
WP-CLI imports and the import screen no longer report items as skipped when they were processed.
The Run WPML Import screen no longer sends a second request for a step with nothing to do.
Imports with Tools → Import → WordPress keep imported posts as drafts and match re-imported posts also when the browser or a proxy drops the Referer header.
Re-imports are dependable: importing the same file twice, two imports running at once and malformed translation groups are all handled.
Performance
The slug-fixing step after an import reads only the imported posts instead of the whole site.
Fixes
A translation imported in a later run attaches to its original.
The WordPress importer no longer merges a translation that shares its original's title and date.
An "Update existing products" CSV import keeps translated variations under their translated parent products.
A WP All Import post imported as Published keeps its categories.
WooCommerce CSV imports assign the translated attribute terms to translated products.
Importing per-language WooCommerce CSV files without WooCommerce Multilingual creates the product in every language, not only the default one.
Re-runs, scheduled imports and WP-CLI imports through WP All Import keep the intended status instead of arriving published.
The final-status step handles published, scheduled and group-less rows, and the wizard no longer recommends "published".
Imports run through WP-CLI or a trigger send only the originals flagged for translation to Translate Everything.
Inline terms import correctly: a duplicated child term gets the translated parent, and existing terms are no longer deleted or re-labelled.
After an import, a term shared by posts in several languages is copied into each language and the unused original is removed, instead of being moved into one of the languages.
An import whose declared language code matches an inactive duplicate language says so, instead of silently placing items there.
With WP Import Export, export requests no longer leave WPML's language switched to All languages.
The WP All Export Migrate flow exports each reserved _wpml_import_* column once.
Built and released together with WPML 5.2.0, with the same shared library version.
WPML Export and Import v5.0.0
= WooCommerce product imports
Products that were already published now stay published when you run a WooCommerce update import.
Fixed a locale-dependent column lookup that was losing all variations on WooCommerce CSV imports when the site’s default language was not English.
Product attributes now stay in sync with their translations when importing through WP All Import.
The filter that skips whole post types from being drafted is now honored during WooCommerce CSV imports.
Media and recovery during import
Fixed a case where a post’s featured image could be connected to unrelated content after importing a file that references media which was not imported.
Interrupted imports now keep the recovery markers for the posts still waiting to be restored.
Import status reports now reflect the posts that could not be restored, instead of every post the import attempted.
Command-line imports
Fixed imports run in CLI mode stalling when using the batch-size filter.
