Problem: The client needs to synchronize product attributes across different languages in a WooCommerce site using WPML, especially after bulk-importing product translations. The main challenge is to achieve this without overwriting existing custom translations of about 2,200 products.
Solution: We recommend two main approaches to synchronize product attributes without risking data loss: 1. Edit and Update Individual Products: - Navigate to the product in the original language. - Make a minor change in the content or attributes. - Save these changes and update the translation.
2. Use Bulk Synchronization Options: - Go to WooCommerce -> WCML -> Status tab. - Click on the Troubleshooting link at the bottom right. - Select the options to synchronize the attributes and variations. - Click on the Start button and wait for the synchronization to complete.

Problem: The client installed the WPML plugin and a language switcher on their multi-language WordPress site. However, the site did not switch languages correctly, staying in English despite selecting other languages. The issue was exacerbated by the LitExtension SEO Plugin, which was conflicting with WPML by modifying URLs. Solution: We recommended the following steps: 1. Ensure that the shop page and products are translated and properly assigned per language. This can be checked under Pages → All Pages and Products → All. 2. Verify that WooCommerce Multilingual is in use and configured correctly by following our documentation at https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/. 3. Check the configuration of the language switcher in WPML → Languages. 4. Disable the LitExtension SEO Plugin, as it interferes with URL structures essential for WPML's language switching. 5. For untranslated content, use WPML’s Translation Dashboard to send items for translation or manually add translations. 6. Translate widgets and strings specific to the theme using WPML’s String Translation feature. Relevant documentation can be found at https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-widgets/#display-different-widgets-each-language and https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/. 7. If changing URL structures for languages, modify them via WPML → Languages → Edit Languages or create a custom language. Note that this can impact SEO and existing links.

Problem: Der Kunde hat ein Problem mit dem Plugin German Market von Marketpress auf seiner Homepage, bei dem der String 'wp_wc_invoice_pdf_billing_address_additional_notation' in WPML String Translation als gesperrt markiert ist und eine Übersetzung benötigt. Solution: Wir haben festgestellt, dass das Problem durch einen ungültigen Wert in der 'autoload' Spalte der Options-Tabelle verursacht wurde. Um dies zu beheben, haben wir: 1. Die Datenbank manuell angepasst und den 'autoload' Wert auf 'yes' gesetzt. 2. Den betroffenen Eintrag aus der XML-Konfiguration entfernt. 3. Den String im Bereich 'Admin-Texte' der String-Übersetzung gesucht und gelöscht. 4. Anschließend den String erneut zur String-Übersetzung hinzugefügt, woraufhin er wie erwartet funktionierte. Wir empfehlen außerdem, die Plugin-Autoren zu kontaktieren, um sie auf das Problem mit der Registrierung der Option mit einem ungültigen Wert für 'autoload' hinzuweisen.

Problem: The client has translated all brands for a dummy product using the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), but the brands are not appearing in the secondary language under Products - Brands. The client is using the Shoptimizer theme and Rank Math plugin. Solution: We recommend checking if the URLs for the translated brands are directly searchable in the Advanced Translation Editor. Additionally, ensure that the option to show all links is enabled in ATE. This setting might help display the translated brands correctly in the secondary language.

Problem: While using WooCommerce and Divi theme for website translation, the client encountered an issue where already translated global attributes were appearing again in the translation editor. Despite checking the settings in WPML's Taxonomy translation table, the problem persisted. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML-> Settings-> Translation Editor-> Taxonomy visibility in the translation editor. 2. Select the option "Only show taxonomy terms that haven't been translated yet" and click "Save". 3. If the issue continues, we recommend creating a draft product to test if the settings are applied correctly. If this resolves the issue, make a minor edit to all existing products so that WPML can detect the new settings.

Problem: The client reported inconsistencies with product and booking translations, including different availability slots between languages, duplicate bookings in orders, and discrepancies in the number of bookings per product across languages. Solution: We identified that the issues might stem from the bookings not being translated before they were made available. We recommended ensuring that products are fully translated before bookings are made. This involves checking the translation settings under WPML → Settings → Custom Post Type Translations → [wc_booking] and setting bookings to 'Not translatable' if translations for bookings are not needed. Additionally, we suggested recreating the issue in a sandbox environment to isolate the problem and confirm if it persists. If the problem continues, we advised checking the translation settings to ensure they match those in the sandbox, which is considered the correct configuration.

Problème: Le client a un problème avec le remboursement d'une commande en anglais sur un site multilingue. Lors du remboursement, la roue de chargement tourne indéfiniment sans que rien ne se passe, alors que le remboursement fonctionne correctement en français. Solution: Nous avons recommandé au client de vérifier si des erreurs liées à WPML apparaissent dans le journal de débogage de WordPress ou dans le journal d'erreurs du serveur. Pour activer le journal de débogage, le client doit modifier le fichier
Après avoir activé le débogage, le client doit essayer de reproduire le problème et vérifier si des erreurs sont enregistrées. Nous avons également suggéré que le problème pourrait être dû à des entrées de variations manquantes ou corrompues dans la base de données, comme cela a été le cas dans des incidents similaires signalés précédemment. Le client peut consulter un cas similaire ici : https://wpml.org/de/forums/topic/php-fatal-error-14/#post-17707823

Problema: Algunos productos no tienen el SLUG traducido correctamente, mostrando URLs como /en/?post_type=product&p=21514, y otros productos dan error 404. Solución: Primero, cambiamos la configuración en WPML → Configuración → URL de página a “Generar automáticamente a partir del título (por defecto)”. Esto asegura que los slugs se generen automáticamente para las nuevas traducciones. Si optas por la opción de “Traducir”, debes traducir el slug manualmente desde el editor de traducción. Para los productos existentes con slugs incorrectos, sigue estos pasos: - Ve a Productos - Cambia al idioma inglés - Edita cada producto y modifica el slug directamente

De plus, il y a un problème avec les images des produits qui apparaissent 'broken' dans la fenêtre du panier. Le problème est lié à l'incompatibilité du shortcode WooCommerce Gutenberg. Solution : Nous avons demandé au client si la page avait été traduite et publiée. Nous avons également demandé un exemple d'image qui ne s'affiche pas correctement pour mieux comprendre le problème.
