Waiting for author
Overview of the issue
When using Facebook for WooCommerce, clicking a translated product in Facebook redirects you to the product in the default language or to an error page.
Workaround
In your child theme functions.php file, add the following:
add_filter ('facebook_for_woocommerce_integration_prepare_product', 'fix_product_url', 11, 2);
function fix_product_url($product_data, $id) {
$product_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_post_language_details', null, $id );
$product_data['url'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_permalink', $product_data['url'], $product_lang['language_code'] );
return $product_data;
}
Next steps to resolve this issue
We’ve contacted WooCommerce for a permanent fix, but have yet to hear back. Since the issue needs to be resolved with changes to the plugin code, we cannot assist any further other than by providing the workaround detailed above.
If you are experiencing issues and would like to push this fix forward to WooCommerce, feel free to leave a support ticket with the author here: https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/ (you will need to be logged into WordPress.com).
Hello, in case it helps anyone.
The code you posted doesn’t work for me, this one I show below does, I got it from the WPML forum.
add_filter( ‘facebook_for_woocommerce_integration_prepare_product’, function( $product_data, $id ) {
$product_lang = apply_filters( ‘wpml_post_language_details’, null, $id );
$ref = array_key_exists( ‘url’, $product_data ) ? ‘url’ : ‘link’;
$product_data[ $ref ] = apply_filters( ‘wpml_permalink’, $product_data[ $ref ], $product_lang[‘language_code’] );
return $product_data;
}, 11, 2 );
This code was proposed by one of our users and the only difference is that it first checks the URL coming from Facebook. If it works better for you, feel free to use it.
Thank you for sharing it, Alexander. 🙂
Hi. I have a similar problem.
I found a discussion about this problem in the plugin support forum.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/products-in-several-languages-error/page/2/
They are in no hurry to solve this problem. Are you sure you have notified them?
Hello there,
We work constantly with WooCommerce team. Thus, if you want to increase the priority of this issue, you can open a ticket as suggested in the «Next steps to resolve this issue» section.
In the meantime, please use the workaround here proposed.

That’s what I did. Their employee said that he didn’t see any information on Github about this problem. Or did you notify Woo in some other way?
Our devs have other communication channels. As the errata explain, the goal is that you open a report in Github to better understand the priority of the issue.
