### **1. Export the English Content from the Related Site**

### **2. Import the English Content into the Current Site**
– **Log in to the current site (the one with mistakenly translated content).**
– Go to **WPML > Translation Management > Translation Tools**.
– Use the **Import XLIFF** feature:
– Upload the XLIFF file exported from the related site.
– WPML will process and overwrite the existing German content with the original English content.

### **3. Verify the Update**
– After importing, visit the affected pages to confirm the restoration of English content.
– Check if the links, media, and formatting are intact.
—
### **4. Backup and Test**
– **Create a backup** of both sites before proceeding with the import/export.
– If you face issues with XLIFF, consider exporting and importing pages manually or via plugins like **All-in-One WP Migration** or **WP Import Export Lite**.

### **Alternative Option: Export/Import via CSV**
If XLIFF is not available, you can use a CSV export/import process:
– Use plugins like **WP All Export** to export English content from the related site.
– Use **WP All Import** to upload and map the English content to overwrite the current site.
