Tell us what you are trying to do?
We are trying to import Products in 3 languages via REST API (German, English, French) but whenever we run our import script the french attributes are not created.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
We followed the woocommerce rest api documentation
In the meantime we figured out how to create the attributes, but what we're still trying to do, is create the attribute term in the respective language.
We have not found anything in the documentations yet.
Have you checked "Creating Taxonomy Terms (Product Category, Tag, Attribute, Shipping Class)" section and then at the bottom an example about "Translate Global Attribute Term" like:
Please note that you can use the REST API to translate Attribute terms (e.g. Blue), but not Attribute names (e.g. Color). To translate Attribute names, go to WooCommerce → WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency. In the Attributes tab, scroll down to the Translations of taxonomy labels and slug section and add the translations.
We add the Attribute Terms when creating the Product and inside the Product there's an Array with Attributes that looks like the one in the Screenshot.
the "id" parameter is the Attribute assigned to the value and inside the "options" array there's the attribute.
Is it correct, that we have to add the "lang" parameter to the "options" array to achieve the same solution?
Following your Reference to the Documentation, we managed to create the attribute terms in the respective languages (german, french, english). But when we try to assign the term to the product via slug, it either doesn't assign it or it creates a new term.
$data = [
'name' => 'FR Test Variable Product',
'type' => 'variable',
'description' => 'FR Test Variable Product for REST',
'lang' => 'fr',
'translation_of' => 25,
'attributes' => [
[
'id' => $global_attribute_id,
'visible' => true,
'variation' => true,
'options' => [
'red-fr' //slug of the attribute term translation
]
]
]
];
$woocommerce->post('products', $data);
This is the reference we're using to create the products just without the the 'translation_of' parameter because we don't want the products to be linked.
We want to create products with their attributes in different languages, but without the 'translation_of' parameter. That is all.
We need to create the attribute terms in the specific language, so we can use our filter plugin for the products and to display them via grid. as of now, the filter can not see the attribute terms because they are all in the main language german.
Did you get a chance to check other scenarios? And can you share your findings please?
I got some additional info from the team and they confirmed these working. I am sharing some code below from their tests, which may be relevant and be of your interest:
One thing that might interest you, is the use of 'translation_of' => null. Since you don't want to use this param then perhaps set it to null instead of omitting it altogether?
