Problem:
The client needs to ensure that all settings for a product set up in Dutch are transferred to other languages, with the exception of the description, which should remain editable and not be automatically translated. They are experiencing issues with having to manually add all content, such as pictures, prices, and variations, for translations, which was not the case previously.

Solution:
We recommend checking the guide on Setting the Translation Preferences for Custom Fields, which will help in configuring which fields should be copied to translations and which should not.

If you are manually adding translations and want to duplicate the product while only changing the description, you can refer to the guide on duplicating posts with WPML. This guide explains how to duplicate content, perform bulk duplication, and convert a translation to a duplicate. It also includes an option to overwrite the duplicated post with the original language content, thus copying everything to the translation and allowing you to manually edit only the description.

If this solution does not seem relevant to your situation, please open a new support ticket and we will be happy to assist you further.
