How to import from SQL-file into WP with WPML-translations working?
-
Hi,
we are currently stuck in the process of migrating the data from an old custom/closed-code CMS to WordPress (single site).
For the multi-language support, we are using WPML. For a website offering currently 7 languages and there are 22 planned,
the import must be done automatically for several thousand posts.
All Data is in a SQL-export (UTF8), so no text-conversion for WP is required AFAIC.
How can this be done? I only need WP-Types Post and Page (and some Custom Type, like FAQ I could do manually, not that much) import to work.
I think this is a fairtly common task, but many use more common open-source CMS where there are converters existing.When using the wp-admin backend, normal page-hooks (in the backend when creating and saving/publishing a post) are run?
What are the implications if I do the import not via these. Any inconsistencies?Has anybody managed to import WPML-pages also?

https://wpml.org/documentation/support/editing-wpmls-languages-table/How to create a customized permalink for each post automated (old site’URL was just numbers)?
Should this be done directly from src-SQL to WP-DBs? Or is the RSS-Import or WP-XML- the way to go?
I’d like to import directly into the DB, IF it is possible and safe.
