 * Both RSS and SQL approaches will work, but SQL is faster. I mean if you import
   RSS data all your posts and pages will be assigned to only one language(as true
   for importer version 0.5) , means you cannot map pages and posts to different
   languages(would be nice feature of import plugin). Also apart from page or post
   knowing their own language(“Language of this page” field) you will loose pages
   translations interconnections(“This is a translation of” field).
 * With SQL approach you keep all data safe. Once you exported all your data into
   SQL file you need to replace all hardcoded domain names to the domain names you
   are going to move your data in. As soon as all plugins and wordpress versions
   equal on both domains you should not experience any inconsistency or data loss
   while migrating.
 * But all this should work only for “from wordpress to wordpress” migration. If
   you are doing something like custom CMS to wordpress migration. You should stick
   to SQL approach and create sql import script that will represent you custom CMS
   data in WPML schema way. Yes you need to research WPML DB schema in detail to
   do that. My googling abilities didn’t give any result on any software to generate
   that SQL script for you.
