Hi,

To add translations while syncing products from your ERP, you can use the WordPress REST API together with WooCommerce Multilingual. This allows you to create the original product and its translation in one automated process. More details are available here:

Please note, this kind of custom integration is outside our support scope, but you can reach out to a WPML-certified developer for help:
