how to sync publish status for product ?

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where changing a product's status to 'draft' in the default language (Italian) does not automatically sync the status to additional languages (English/Chinese) on your multilingual site, we have a solution for you.
Solution:
We recommend adding a custom code snippet to your theme's functions.php file to synchronize the publish status across all languages. Here's how you can do it:

function sync_publish_status_across_languages($post_id) {
    // Check if this is a valid post type (product) and that the post is not being autosaved
    if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;
    if ('product' != get_post_type($post_id)) return;  // Check for WooCommerce product post type
   
    // Get the current post status
    $post_status = get_post_status($post_id);
   
    // Get the default language
    $default_language = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', null);
   
    // Get all translations of the post in different languages
    $translations = apply_filters('wpml_get_element_translations', null, $post_id, 'product');  // Updated for products
   
    foreach ($translations as $lang => $translation) {
        // Skip the default language post (we don't want to update it)
        if ($lang === $default_language) continue;
   
        // Get the translation post ID
        $translation_post_id = $translation->element_id;
   
        // Update the publish status of the translated post
        wp_update_post(array(
            'ID' => $translation_post_id,
            'post_status' => $post_status
        ));
    }
}
   
add_action('save_post', 'sync_publish_status_across_languages');
