[Resolved] Color attributes in woocommerce are not translating properly

Hello,

I followed your steps, except for number 2 (as I will translate the words all later, as I am aware that they are not translated properly). I want to solve the fundamental issues before we deploy into translation - to ensure first that this plugin will work properly for us.

I've cleared the cache and cookies, and the issue still persists.

I also noticed now while checking on the Portuguese version, that not all the products in the shopping or category grids appear. I thought I had set a setting for items that were not translated to still appear in the default language (English). Is there another place for this setting that I can check?

Thank you,
Erica

Hello,

I do not believe step 2 is causing the issue. This is only the place for the text translation. There is a separate place within Woocommerce attributes, under the translated part, that shows the swatch is not set.

Agnes, who I spoke to already, helped me to realize this, and that is seems when the translation was done automatically, it did not copy over the settings.

Anyway, I did a test on the product linked below, and it acts as suspected.

Here is one example, but any product listing with color attributes that has been translated to Portuguese has the same issue: hidden link

I've also uploaded an image where you can see that the swatch is not set (this is when the page is changed for the portuguese color attribute under woocommerce...products.. attributes.. color).

Please also answer my question about why not all my products are appearing. I had already checked it twice to set the products to show in the default language if not translated, and they are not showing (only the portuguese ones).

Thank you,
Erica

Hello,

That seems to be getting to the root of the issue! It looks solved on the product page, however, on the category pages it doesn't appear. Only for one color, for some reason, so I have tried to resave both the english (default) and translated (portuguese) versions, and cleared the cookies and tried again, but it is still appearing without the color swatch on the category grid pages.

If you don't mind, I also have two other problems I am struggling with, and I wonder if they could be from similar settings under the Custom options for Copy/Don't Copy.

1 - on the translated site, I lost the styling settings in a Global Section (Cover), from the Rey theme, for the headers of the categories. They are built in elementor and use what is called a Dynamic title, to generate the title. The titles have been translated but the styling does not carry over. I have followed WPML documentation, and tried resaving/republishing in both english and portuguese versions and it doesn't get solved.

2 - also unsure how to have the main menu translated... it's build on product category pages, and I have translated all the categories, but they are not translated in the menu on the site. I believe I do not need to create a separate menu, and that these should naturally update the menu with the translations of the page/product category. It worked in the footer, but not in the main header menus.

Thank you,
Erica

Hello again,

Another related question, on the product page, once the attributes are translated and updated, they do not respect the custom ordering I have within the woocommerce backend (under Products, Attributes). With this example , they are inverted from the default language:

hidden link
