Problem:
The client needs a comprehensive guide on translating taxonomies and WooCommerce pages using WPML, especially when automatic translation does not meet their specific needs. They encountered issues where taxonomies were not automatically translated when translating products, leading to incorrect category assignments.
Solution:
1. Taxonomies will be translated automatically along with the posts or products they are assigned to. If you're experiencing different results, we recommend checking your site's settings and providing us with WPML debugging information. More information here: https://wpml.org/de/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/
2. For WooCommerce pages, replace any WooCommerce Blocks on the Cart or Checkout page with WooCommerce Shortcodes, as we currently cannot translate new blocks. You can find more about WooCommerce Page Shortcodes here: https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/page-shortcodes/ Strings from these pages can then be translated using WPML > String Translation.
3. Attributes are translated automatically with the product they are assigned to. To translate all global attributes in one job, create a product, assign all available attributes to it, and send the product for automatic translation.
4. If a taxonomy is already translated, it will be synced when translating the post. You can also sync taxonomies at WPML > Taxonomy Translation if WPML recognizes that taxonomies are missing on translated posts.
If the solution provided here does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
