Sync WPML using WPChangeSync

WPML configuration is intricate. Move its language and translation settings between environments as files you can review and roll back.
Why

Why sync WPML using WPChangeSync?

Core capability

Keep WPML identical across every site

WPML stores languages, translation settings and configuration across the database. With WPChangeSync you build a data source for it once, then move that configuration as JSON, so your multilingual setup is consistent between staging and production instead of reconfigured by hand on each.

FAQ

Common questions about syncing WPML

What WPML data can I sync with WPChangeSync?
WPChangeSync moves your languages, translation management, url settings and settings as Git-friendly JSON you can review, move between sites and roll back.
Does WPML need to support WPChangeSync?
No. WPML does not need to know about WPChangeSync. You sync its data yourself with a no-code custom data source in Settings, and it works today.
Will syncing WPML overwrite my live site?
No. WPChangeSync previews every change as a dry run and lets you choose exactly what to apply, with backups and one-click rollback if anything looks wrong.
Do I need WPML active on both sites?
Yes. Keep WPML active on the source and the target so its data has somewhere to land. WPChangeSync moves the configuration, and WPML renders it.
