Background of the issue:
I am developing a site and writing a script to import categories, attributes, and products. I am using the WooCommerce API for this process.

Symptoms:
Attributes can't be translated over the WooCommerce API, and attributes created through the API are monolingual, making their terms untranslatable.

Questions:
Is there another way to translate attributes other than manually in the UI?
Is there a way to create attributes that are translatable, like those created in the UI?

Hi,

before your ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps. This will help speed up the support process.

Have you also reviewed our WooCommerce Multilingual API documentation? It includes a guide on working with local and global attributes: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/using-wordpress-rest-api-woocommerce-multilingual/.

Please be also aware of section:

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.

Best Regards,
Marcel
