Problem: You are developing a new website and want to translate its content from English to Hebrew and Russian using WPML, with all content except product descriptions translated automatically. You also want to know if it's okay to update the translated product descriptions via the WooCommerce API and if WPML will try to update the uploaded translations automatically if the automatic translation mode is turned on. Solution: WPML's automatic translation translates all content on a specific page, and there is no built-in option to selectively exclude certain parts, such as product descriptions, from being translated. To customize this behavior, you can add your own logic using a filter. For guidance on implementing this, you can refer to two example approaches discussed in this forum thread.

Problem: You are building an e-commerce website using WordPress/WooCommerce and the Woodmart theme, and have translated the content from English to Russian and Hebrew. While all 7 filters by attribute are displayed in English on the shop page sidebar, only 6 are displayed in Russian and Hebrew. Specifically, the 'Collection' filter is missing in these languages. Solution: We recommend going to WooCommerce > Status > Tools and selecting the option to
