Problem: The client was experiencing issues with WooCommerce strings not being translated into Greek unless the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' setting was active.
Solution: 1. We recommended the client to update the WPML plugins, especially those indicated in red in their WordPress admin plugin installation page. 2. We informed the client that WPML version 4.6.10, which addresses this issue, was released a few days ago and they should ensure they have the latest version installed.
If you're experiencing similar issues with WooCommerce string translations not appearing in your desired language, we recommend you first check for any available updates for WPML plugins by visiting your WordPress admin plugin installation page. Also, confirm that you have the latest WPML version by checking the changelog at WPML Changelog.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If after following these steps the issue persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues at WPML Known Issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket in the WPML support forum.
Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where changing the product visibility in the default language does not automatically update the visibility in the translated product, even though the option appears as locked in the translation. Solution: We explained that WPML allows for the publishing of translations once the original content is published, which can be set in WPML > Settings > Translated documents options. However, this currently only applies to public visibility. If the original is set as a draft, the translations will not update automatically. We acknowledged that there is an ongoing feature request to implement synchronization of visibility settings across translations, which may be available in a future WPML version.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related 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 contact us on the WPML support forum.
Problem: The client reported an issue where a visitor (not logged in) adds a translated product to the cart, but the default language product is added instead. This problem occurred after making changes to the visibility of the English language and the product translation settings in a Woodmart theme environment.
Solution: We resolved the issue by enabling the "Language filtering for AJAX operations" option in WPML > Languages. This solution worked for both logged-in and logged-out users, ensuring that the correct language product is added to the cart. We confirmed that enabling this option should not cause any performance issues, so no further troubleshooting is necessary.
WooCommerce - Direct bank transfer payment method - The instructions field value in the default language is not deleted. This happens when you insert a value to this field and translate it in Strings Translation. But removing the translation and the value of the strings from the field still shows on the front end of the thank you page. It only disappears when you deactivate WPML.
Solution:
The issue has been escalated to our developers. Meanwhile, please use this workaround.
1. Take a backup of your site in case something goes wrong.
Now the problem should be fixed. The once-deleted value from the Instructions field will not show anymore.
**** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps. ****
