Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate strings on the product archive page and product single page in WooCommerce using WPML. I have updated my French content on the product archive page created by Elementor and created a new product single page. I translated the French content to English, but the English version doesn't show.

Symptoms:
The translated English content on the product archive page and product single page is not displaying.

Questions:
Could you log into my WooCommerce site and help me investigate this issue?

Hello there,

I followed the steps to try to fix the issue:

- Go to WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page and press the below buttons:
- Clear the cache in WPML
- [Products] Synchronize posts taxonomies
- Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
- Assign translation status to duplicated content
- Set language information

- Go to WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page and press the below buttons:
- Clear the cache in WPML
- [Products] Synchronize posts taxonomies
- Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE
- Assign translation status to duplicated content
- Set language information

Also, the WP memory limit needed to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress was using 40Mb. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/)

I increased it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

After taking those steps I can see the products fully translated now, please check the screenshot for reference.

Can you please review it and confirm that it is fixed now?

Best,
Mateus

Hi

Thanks for your investigation and response.

The product page in the screenshot that you shared with me was created one month ago, it was no problem. The issue happened in last week. So Could you please check the URL as below? The issue still can't be removed.

product archive page :hidden link

single product page:Court Carré Rond-Citrouille Dorée (in the screenshot)

Thank you

Hi there,

I tried checking the specific product you shared as an example and it looks like there's no English translation available for it yet, please check the screenshot.

I looked for a few other examples but so far I couldn't reproduce the issue.

Can you please review it?

Thank you.
Mateus

Hi

I restet the configuration of "Custom Fields Translation "and the status changed below. Because I created new atrributes (product colour& product style) in last week and didn't update the"Custom Fields Translation ".

"Updating affected posts for changes in translatable fields _default_attributes, attribute_pa_package, attribute_pa_colour, attribute_pa_style, _wp_attachment_context. 0 / 172 0%"

"Updating affected posts for changes in translatable fields _elementor_template_widget_type. 0 / 337 0%"

I have waited for long time ,but the progress is still 0%.

Is it related with the issue above?

Thank you

Hello there,

I checked it and the last issue you reported is a known issue where some duplicated queries get added to the table icl_background_task.

It is being investigated to be fixed in definitive, meanwhile I applied the workaround available in here and this specific issue has been fixed: https://wpml.org/errata/wpml-causing-backend-slowness-and-duplicated-queries/

Regarding the issue with the product, while I was able to add the translation and save it, like you mentioned, I did notice that the translation was already loaded indicating it was already translated before despite the + icon.

On top of that if I edit the main language product and switch to English it doesn't load the English product but rather an empty product. It is also no creating the package for that product within WPML > Packages. There's something strange going on that I need to check. I enabled the debug mode but it didn't generate any errors.

Is it possible to reach out to the hosting provider support and ask them to share today's error logs(October 10th), you can add it to the server and tell me the location or share it with me using a text sharing service such as pastebin.com or a file sharing service such as dropbox or Google drive.

Also, are you able to create a staging site where I can debug this freely without affecting the live site?

I enabled private fields for your next reply so that you can share it with me.

Thank you, please let us know.

Hey there,

I checked this out but so far I couldn't find a fix for it.

I asked my colleagues to have a look at this issue in order to see if there's anything I'm missing.

I'll come back here as soon as one of my colleagues reply back to me (which it shouldn't take long).

Thanks,

Hello there,

This is an extremely odd bug which is making it take a longer to investigate.

We feel like we're making progress but it is soon to say for sure.

We're actively debugging this and we'll keep you posted.

Thank you for your patience and we'll update you as soon as possible.

Hi

Ok, I understand.
This issue is very urgent and it has disturbed the sale promotion schedule of my woocommerce store because the product page can't be launched.
How much longer do you need to investigate?

Thank you

While we can't give you an ETA of when we'll find a definitive fix, I have a workaround I can offer you in the meantime. We noticed that by exporting the XLIFF of the product, translating it and importing it back, the product gets fully translated:

- Go to WPML -> Translation Management
- Search for your product and send it for Translation
- Go to WPML > Translations, locate the product and select it
- Click on export to XLIFF 1.2
- Open the XLIFF using an editor and translate it
- Still on the WPML > Translations screen at the bottom of the page import the file

Please check this documentation for more information:
Manually Downloading XLIFF Files
Using Desktop CAT Tools with WPML

I understand this solution isn't optimal, but it a temporary workaround we can offer just until we're working hard to fix this for good.

We thank you for your understanding.

Hi

Thanks for your response.

I have updated the English version by following your resolution above. I think it takes too long time to download and manually translated the xliff file .
So , Please continue to help me investigate this issue and keep update with me .

Thank you
