Do you need to create a multilingual site or do you need to replace the current site with a new site in the new language?

Added: I suspect you could try to use the export/import functionality (I've never done it myself, though). Go to the admin page, then to Tools on the bottom left and then Export. Select what you want to export (e.g. make a separate page for posts and pages). This creates a XML file in "eXtended RSS" format which looks remarkably like HTML. Apparently you can then import the file again later. Exporting the file won't hurt your installation. I would not try importing it without confirming that the client agrees that it is safe to import. However, I'm not sure what CAT tool can handle eXtended RSS format.

I will try to use the export functionality. I will let you know the results.

Thanks
