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

Problem:
After migrating from Shopify to WooCommerce and installing the WPML plugin, the client experienced issues when switching from English to Slovenian or Croatian. This included duplicated categories and a messy layout in the translated versions, which were not present in the original English version.

Hi, I just migrate from Shopify to Woocommerce because of various reasons. Anyway I found a Woodmart theme that is perfect for my shop. I did install your plugin regarding your instructions but the problem came when switching from English ( original) to my native language ( Slovenian) or Croatian translation. It just add a tone of duplicated categories that were not there before ect. Categories are there even in original ( English) language. Layout of the site just become massy after switching to translated language. Can you please provide me with information how to solve this problems.? I attached images of translation and without translation.
Thank you very much

Hi Osama, I was checking the settings and everything was the same ( I dont know how) but when I choose different page layout and turn off the Title, than everything was fine. So thank you for help.
But there are another problems I am facing.
1.) Language switcher. It is all good on Homepage, but when I enter the Shop language switcher disappear only World " language" is shown but not working. Do you have fix also for that problem?

2.) I dont know why and how but suddenly I have Multiple same products 6 or 7 same products and also 6 or 7 same categories ect. so because of that I burn all of 90.000 credicts that I had before.

I am attaching some pictures that you can see what I am talking about

Thanks in advance

Hi,

1) It's great to hear that changing the page settings fixed the issue. 🙂

2) We try to keep one issue per ticket in our forum. As the original issue is resolved, may I kindly ask you to open new tickets for your additional questions?

As a quick hint, please check if the home and shop pages use the same header template. If they don't use the same template, please edit the shop page header template and add the switcher again using a shortcode or widget.

Continuing with one ticket per issue helps supporters focus on one issue at once and enables other users to find solutions to their questions faster.

Thanks for your understanding

Best regards,
Osama
