Problem: You are developing a site using WPML for automatic translation and need WPML to translate products before they are synchronized with another webshop in multiple languages. You are looking for a way to prioritize WPML translations over the WooMultistore script. Solution: While WPML provides various hooks for customization, simply prioritizing hooks may not be sufficient due to the complex workflow of automatic translation processes. Instead, we recommend delaying the synchronization script that sends data to the other webshop. Typically, actions and filters in WordPress, including those used by WPML, have a default priority of 10. You can set your synchronization script to a very high priority number (e.g., 999) to ensure it executes after translations are complete. Additionally, you can use the wpml_element_has_translations hook to check if a post or taxonomy term has been translated. Since the "WPML WooCommerce Multistore Add-On" is maintained by WooMultistore, it's also a good idea to consult their support for advice on adjusting the synchronization script to accommodate translation completion.

Problem: The client is unable to translate certain elements within their website using WPML. Specifically, they are having issues with translating the 'read more' button and pagination on the search results page, as well as translating and changing URLs in text links within the footer for different languages.
Solution: 1. We recommend using the String Translation plugin to translate the 'read more', 'next', and 'previous' strings that are not visible in the string translations.
2. For translating custom links in the footer, we suggest creating a custom language switcher. You can follow the instructions in our documentation on how to create a custom language switcher: Custom Language Switcher.
Additionally, we provided a screen recording that demonstrates the process of translating links: Screen Recording.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with coupon codes in a multilingual WooCommerce store. When duplicating a coupon code created in the main language (English) to other languages (Dutch and German), they receive an error message stating that the coupon code already exists. Additionally, the coupon does not apply correctly to products linked to a translatable brand, resulting in an error message that the coupon is not applicable to the selected products. Solution: We recommend setting both the Brands and Coupons to "Don't translate" in the WPML settings. This adjustment ensures that product translations across different languages will utilize the same brand and coupon codes, thereby avoiding duplication errors and applicability issues. If brands are translated, it will be necessary to create a unique coupon for each language.
