## Beschreibung

#### Features

 * Imports languages and WPML options (when the same options exist in Polylang).
 * Imports posts and terms languages as well as translations (including for custom
   post types and custom taxonomies).
 * Imports multilingual nav menus.
 * Imports strings translations.
 * Does not delete WPML data.

#### Important

Although WPML data should not be corrupted, as Polylang data are created without
deleting anything, **make a database backup before proceeding**.

#### How to proceed?

 * De-activate WPML
 * Activate Polylang or [Polylang Pro](https://polylang.pro) and WPML to Polylang.
   Do **not** create any language with Polylang (they will be imported).
 * Go to Tools -> WPML Importer.
 * If all checks are passed, then you can click on ‚Import‘.
 * De-activate WPML to Polylang (You can even delete it).
 * Setup a language switcher either as a widget or in nav menus.
 * Check that everything is OK.
 * If something went wrong and you want to revert to WPML, you can delete Polylang
   using the red link in the Plugins table. To delete all data created for Polylang,
   Please read [how](https://polylang.pro/doc/how-to-uninstall-polylang/) **before**
   deleting Polylang. Finally you can re-activate WPML.

#### Notes

This plugin does not include error management. It has however been tested successfully
to migrate a site with about 9,000 posts and media.

Works great, but just a little correction in process: you have to remove WPML completely(
google for that, that’s not so easy, that’s just about removing the plugin) once
you imported everything to Polylang. Before WPML removal, my translation didn’t 
work on secondary language. But now everything is ok! Big thanks to developers!

Very helpful plugin. Tried to move manually – spent an hour for average-sized website,
found, that a bunch of details are still to set, and started from scratch with this
plugin – did in 3 minutes, including downloading.

I rarely leave reviews but this plugin warrants one. After weeks and weeks of problems
with WPML i finally switched to Polylang and this plugin made that process of transferring
my already translated pages and templates from WPML so Polylang so easy and straightforward.
Complete transfer in 2 seconds! Big thanks to the developers of this one!!
