Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	I't hard to say why this is happening, please select all of them and delete them. The correct one will auto populate by itself. If you check on the staging site it works OK now but only 1 language is showing (FR) Let me know your results, please and if needed I'm happy to take a look at the backend of the production site as well.

alinam-2	Hello Bobby, I made what you said ; and it failed. I have been wondering what could be the cause ... since you are most certainly American, and so, most likely have no clue about French or German ... well, WP-end points had been created in FR, DE, or EN ... So, after the first trial (what you wrote) I deleted all of them. Then, re-translated all of them Then, flushed all caches And it still does not work, leading to same result Ready to share an admin access Waiting for your feedback Kind regards Alina

alinam-2	So that you think about it ... If I delete all end points ... they are first auto populate in EN. Then, I change language ... I mean say those end-points are in EN. Then, I translate them in FR and DE. And then, they are re-populated in EN ... generating mess and confusion. As you certainly don't speak any other language but EN and possibly ES, here attached are the false duplicates generated by WPML regards

alinam-2	To add, your solution yet does not work on the staging site (see attached). If it has, it's not stable. As written above, it looks like WPML repopulate a certain mess in WP-endpoints

alinam-2	Indeed, the step by step: - delete all WP endpoints in WPML strings translation -> then, they are regenerated with English flag but French text (see image wpml-step-1) - change language of all former WP ends to FR - translate all WP endpoints in EN and DE -> then, all translations are considered as new chains to be translated Pretty sure it's due to 4.7 version. For sure, the reason is that endpoints are erroneously generated with FR text and EN flag

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	Thank you for updating me! I will take a duplicator package of your website and share it with our team to further debug this as yes, it looks like something is happening that is creating these additiional endpoints, I can confirm that this is not expected nor have I seen any other known reports therefore if the workaround provided did not work or is not stable we need to escalate this further. I have enabled the private field reply.

alinam-2	Hello Bobby, Sorry for late feedback, I am an artisan, work alone, and had a very busy week. Re. your feedback, you have all info re. staging site, which you can use for your tests and replicate, correct? Re. problem itself, I found a way to cope with ... since WPML consider that the first translations of end-points become new strings to translate ... well, you "simply" need to keep the same string for all languages and them, it's stable and works Concretely, translate eg "edit-address" in "edit-address" for all languages. Something that could help, 2 oddities with different behaviors: 1. As said, after deletion, wp endpoints are regenerated in FR and declared as EN. Except one: waitlist in EN and declared as EN 2. editer-addresse, which is "edit-address" in FR is the string generated after deletion of all. It has a spelling error: in French, adresse has only 1 d. The why of those 2 could put you on the track for original cause Kind regards Alina

alinam-2	So, what is the next step? Kind regards

Bobby WPML Supporter since 04/2015 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-07:00)	If you are OK with the workaround you are using you could continue using it as keeping them the same would prevent such issues. However, if you would like us to further investigate the next steps are to migrate a copy of the site onto our cloudways servers for further investigation and escalate this issue.

alinam-2	OK, since you have all information to do it, when should I receive a feedback? Kind regards

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Our apologies for the delay in answering to your request. My colleague Bobby is currently on vacation which is why I am assisting you today. Please go to Plugins > Add new and click on the "Commercial" tab. Click "Search for WPML Updates". Install and activate the latest versions of our plugins. Now, please go to WPML > String Translation and select the text domain "WC Endpoints". Delete any unexpected entries. Then go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Page Setup and save the settings. This will register the endpoint strings again on WPML > String Translation. Can you still replicate this issue? Best regards Andreas
