 * Hi there,
 * I have just activated MP on my (now) multisite installation. I purchased the 
   pro version, installed it, activated it and entered the license key.
 * Then I installed WPML to MultilingualPress, but when I try to activate it, I 
   get this error message:
    “Sorry you have to install and activate the plugin MultilingualPress!.
 * Back to WordPress admin.”
 * So I cannot activate it. How can I do it?
 * Ither than that, I’m just checking the documentation adn I’ve just seen that 
   I needed to export all my translations _before_ converting my site into a multisite
   installation. Is that true? It took me A LOT of effort converting to multisite,
   isn’t there a way to export my content while keeping the multisite?
 * Thank you,
 * Maria

 * The plugin don’t support the current versions of MultilingualPress. MultilingualPress
   is rewriten for newer goals, stability and performance. The plugin WPML to MLP
   is and old status and don’t get a update – however we have a migration tool on
   the backlock and we will provide it later.
 * You should use the default export WP-XML or database to switch posts to an other
   site of the network.
