In using the import/export wizard I receive a TRANSLATION WARNING
I've searched the Microsoft knowledge base until I am weary and still do not

You would never use export and import to transfer Outlook data, unless you
like running into trouble like this. You already have an Outlook data file,
right? Just copy that file and open it in the other installation.
Instructions:

(Courtesy of Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook])

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.
