Magento

Hello fellas.

I have a client that i would like to put on great Magento system.
They have bunch of product files in xml (over 20,000) and they are in 2 languages.

What i got so far:
1) I got 1 website, 1 store and 2 views (for 2 languages).
2) Also have all required catalog structure laid down.

What i would like to know here is best/fastest way to properly get all of this into magento using import tool.
Please share your experience about importing it via CSV file.

Hey,

I had a website made for my client with around 27k products. Well used csv for all of them. But the csv were of around 1500 rows at a time. Magento takes a bit of time to do it but does it efficiently. Yes, was very patient through out the process coz i didn’t find any other way to do it. Also placed the images in magento\\media\import to make the process a bit faster.

Hope it helps you.

Thanks
