This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed to know how to set up WooCommerce products for manual translation instead of using WPML's automatic translation.
Solution:
1. You need first to switch from the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode to the "Translate What You Choose" mode in WPML settings to allow for manual translations. If automatic translation is still desired for certain content, you can follow the guide at https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#translating-individual-pages-posts-and-other-content-automatically.
2. Make sure that the "WooCommerce Multilingual and Multi-Currency" plugin is installed. You can find more information here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/.
3. To manually create a translation for a product:
- Navigate to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency > Products tab.
- Click the + sign to add a French translation.

If the provided solution does not apply or is outdated, or if you encounter further issues, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If necessary, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

This is for WooCommerce (new products)
How do I do the setting, so that I can manually do the translation, instead of WPLML.
My staff has knowledge of french, and they can do that.

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

1. To ensure the quickest and most accurate support, please provide your debug information so that I can get a look at some of your configurations. You can find it in WPML > Support > click on “Debug information” link. Please check this link for more info: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

2. If you're using the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode please change it to the "Translate What You Choose" so you can control what needs to be translated automatically.

After switching the translation mode you are still able to translate the content automatically by following this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#translating-individual-pages-posts-and-other-content-automatically

3. Regarding the product translation, please make sure that the "WooCommecre Multilingual and Multi-Currency" plugin is installed (https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/)

Then you can create the translation manually in the WPML translation editor with the following steps:

- Go to WooCommecre > WooCommerce Multilingual and Multicurrency > Products tab
- Click the + sign to create the French translation

Let me know please if that helps.

Kind regards,
Mohamed
