[Resolved] Translation of attributes

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support.

I understand the problem you're having. Please note that when attributes are added to a default product and that product is translated, the corresponding translated attributes should automatically be associated with the translated product. There should be no need to manually assign the translated attributes.

However, if you've translated the attribute and it's not appearing in the product editor interface for the secondary language, synchronizing the attributes might help in this matter. Could you please try the following steps?

- Navigate to "WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Attributes".
- Choose the attribute you're concerned with.
- Look for a button labeled "Synchronize Attributes" at the bottom of the page and click it. Please wait until the synchronization is complete.

I hope it will help. But, if the problem continues, it would be helpful if you could create a new product, assign some attributes, translate it, and then check whether the translated attribute is visible in the translated product.

Please let me know the update. I will be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.

Best regards,
Prosenjit

Hello There,

Thank you for sharing the video and additional details about the issue.

I've checked and successfully been able to reproduce the issue in our development environment.

I've already escalated the issue to our 2nd tier team for further investigation. As soon as I have more updates on this, I will surely let you know.

Just a quick tip: When using the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin with WPML, we strongly advise using the Translation Editor for adding or updating translations. This is particularly important for WooCommerce Products, where manual updates are not recommended. Consequently, the issue you're having with Attributes should have minimal impact, as your product translations will be conducted through the Translation Editor rather than using the native WordPress editor. The translated attributes will be applied to the Translated product after completing the Translation. I hope you can understand.

I appreciate your patience and kind cooperation while we're working on this issue.

Best regards,
Prosenjit

Hi Aboubacar,
I hope you're doing well. Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend.

Our development team has looked into the matter and verified that the attributes in the dropdown have been displayed this way since the beginning. However, I'm happy to inform you that we've identified a solution to this issue. To solve the issue, please follow these steps:

- Please open the "functions.php" file of the theme, insert the following code at the end, and save the changes.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies', 'testtranslateattributenew');
function testtranslateattributenew($found_product_categories){
	$my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
	foreach ($found_product_categories as $key => $cat){
		$found_product_categories[$key]->attribute_label = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $cat->attribute_label, 'WordPress', 'taxonomy singular name: '. $cat->attribute_label , $my_current_lang );
	}
	return $found_product_categories;
}

- Once added, go to "Users > Profile" from your WordPress Dashboard and enable the option "Set admin language as editing language." Update the changes.

After making the adjustments mentioned above, try to create a product in the second language and examine the Attribute dropdown. If the Attribute has been translated, it should appear in the Dropdown list in its translated form. I have tested this solution and can confirm its effectiveness in my development setup. Hopefully, the solution will be included in the future version of the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin.

Please let me know the update. I'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
