I started translating to english my site mundoexplora.com. As I have a fully customized filter tool for the travels in the front page, when I installed WPML it started to fail, so I change the workflow and decided to backup the site in a staging site, translate there, test everything's ok and migrate back to production. I have a few questions to do this:
- With my licenses of toolset and WPML, can I use both plugins in the staging site?
- As the site has an insane amount of posts (travels) I planned to use automatic translation with WPML. I have an stimation of the budget to buy the credits I need. Can I use automatic translation in the staging site?
Any advice or recommnedation about the best workflow working with WPML and Toolset is welcome. Thanks in advance

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support.

Yes you can use both Toolset and WPML for the staging website. You can register them like normal and during the registration process you will see a checkbox for development website.

That will preserve the slots for other website and will consider the staging website as development website.

For the WPML Automatic translation you can use it on the staging website and when it comes the day to move the translation to the main website you can follow the steps below:

Feel free to ask more details about the WPML automatic translation in WPML technical support forum:
