Goodbye Polylang, Hello qTranslate!

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

Note 2: This plugin is a clone of W2Q: WPML to qTranslate with appropriate modifications. (Donation links are still the original author's, not mine)

Installation

1. Upload the plugin in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or automatically install it through the 'New Plugin' menu in WordPress
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

Polylang to qTranslate Migration

1. Create a non-production environment to perform the migration. Make sure you have a backup if you want to migrate the production environment.
2. Disable Polylang
3. Install and configure qTranslate X (or any other fork). Test if your environment is still ok.
4. Go to Settings - P2Q: Polylang to qTranslate and press 'Execute'
5. Wait...
6. Test your environment. Some tweaks might be required.
7. Make a donation. Greatly appreciated!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work

The plugin walks through translation entries in the wp_term_taxonomy table. If the element is a post (post_translations) it will be migrated: The translations for the element will be merged into the element in the default language. If the element is a post, any comments for the post will also be attached to the new sole element. Once merged, the translation posts will be removed from the database.

Will it migrate strings translations?

No. Only posts 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!

Like I mentioned earlier, I am just piggybacking on the work of the original author of the W2Q plugin so I have left his donation link intact.
