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

Problem:
You need to change the URL translation for WooCommerce products.
Solution:
We recommend enabling the translation of the product slug by adjusting your WPML settings. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Navigate to WPMLSettingsTranslated documents options and select the “Translate” option. This setting allows the slug to be translated manually.
2. If you are working with an existing product and its translation, trigger an update to make the slug appear in the Translation Editor by:
a. Making a small change to the product description in the original language.
b. Updating the product.
c. Opening the Translation Editor for the translated product.
After these steps, the slug field should be available for manual translation in the Translation Editor.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

If I understood correctly from the chat, you would like to translate the product slug.

To enable this, you need to include the slug in the translation settings. You can do this by going to WPML → Settings → Translated documents options and selecting “Translate” (this option allows the slug to be translated manually instead of being automatically generated from the title).

If you are testing this with an existing product and its translation, you will need to trigger the update so the slug appears in the Translation Editor. You can do this by following these steps:
1. Make a small change to the product description in the original language.
2. Update the product.
3. Open the Translation Editor for the translated product.

After that, the slug field should appear in the translation, allowing you to translate it manually.
