[Resolved] After variation update the product is not visible in 2nd language

Hi,

I'm writing about a problem that was already reported from another user some time ago. We have exactly the same issue, but our WCML is already up to date. Down here I'm copying what has already been written + the whole thread.

I am trying to: update the stock. Some variations are back in stock, so we've changed the stock.
After saving the product is back in stock and visible in the default language, but not in the second language.
This happens for variable products as wel as for simple products.

I expected to see: the product back-in stock in both languages.

Instead, I got: the product only back in stock in the DEFAULT language. When we open the translation to the 2nd language and save this again it is visible in 2nd language. But that takes too much time to do this for all products that are back in stock in our shop.

Is there a way to make the translations always visible no matter if you update the original item? I created an account for you on our staging site so you can test and replicate the issue.

Before you begin to test I must inform you that when we built our website English was the default language, after that we added the second language (Slovenian) and now we've made the second language the default one. Even though we've changed the default language to Slovenian, English is still the default language for products when we want to edit them. The main website is now in Slovenian language.

You can replicate the problem this way:
- open a category page on the front end to se the product you want to edit (in Slovenian language)
- enter into the English edit screen of the product and go to Inventory > uncheck "Manage stock?"
- save/update the product
- clear the WP Rocket cache first and after that preload it than go to the Slovenian version of the website to see the result; at the same time check the English version (domain.com/en) and you'll see that on the English version the product is still visible, but on Slovenian is not
- go again into the product edit screen and click the pencil to edit the Slovenian translation
- Save & close the screen (the "Translation is complete" box should already be checked)
- refresh the Slovenian site to see the Slovenian translation again

Please let me know when you run a test what could be the problem. We regularly edit products that come back in stock and to resave translations every time is not a good option.

Thank you.
