This issue is fixed in WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency 5.5.1. Updating solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

  • Open the …/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/classes/Synchronization/Hooks.php file.
  • Look for line 184.
  • Replace:
    $originalLanguage = $this->manager->getElementLanguage( $originalProduct );
  • With:
    $originalLanguage = $this->manager->getElementLanguage( $originalProduct->ID );
