Migrates WPML translations to qTranslate.

Might be compatible with other qTranslate forks and helper-plugins as well, but not tested.

Goodbye WPML, Hello qTranslate!

Note: This plugin will save you a lot of work, but more configuration and tweaking might be necessary.

Installasjon

Upload the plugin in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or automatically install it through the «New Plugin» menu in WordPress
Activate the plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress

Create a non-production environment to perform the migration. Make sure you have a backup if you want to migrate the production environment.
Disable WPML
Install and configure qTranslate X (or any other fork). Test if your environment is still ok.
Go to Settings – W2Q: WPML to qTranslate and press «Execute»
Wait…
Test your environment. Some tweaks might be required.
Make a donation. Greatly appreciated!

How does it work: The plugin walks through all source elements from the wp_icl_translations table (source element is the element in the «original language»).
if the element is a post (post_) or a taxonomy (tax_) it will be migrated:
The translations for the element will be merged with the source element.
If the element is a post, any comments for the post will also be attached to the source element.
Once merged, the translation posts/taxonomies will be removed from the database.
Will it migrate strings translations?: No. Only posts, taxonomies and terms will be migrated.
Will all my URLs stay the same?: No, slugs are not migrated by default. Some urls will break. If the «qTranslate Slug»-plugin is installed during migration, the slugs for posts and terms will also be translated for you. Note: the taxonomy slugs will not be translated (e.g. /product-cat/ )
Can I make a donation?: Sure! This is the link. Greatly appreciated!
