On some of those translations, the WPML Translation Editor is opening, which is unexpected since the products are set to use the WordPress Editor.
Each original content has a setting for its translation method inside the right sidebar of the WordPress Editor. You can choose between WPML Translation Editor or WordPress Editor as a translation method. It is not possible to use both methods simultaneously.
I solved this issue by opening all the translated products on the WordPress Editor and saving them.
Now, if you open the translation, the WordPress Editor will open as expected.
So If i understand you correctly. I will not be able to use the woocommerce multilingual translation if the wordpress editor is chosen for the products. But it does work for all products expect the ones i had used the elementor editor on.
If I take the urban Bikepack black for example . After an update of the product there is still no content description in the woocommerce multilingual. I would like to use the multilingual for the translation of images , Do I need to switch to the wmpl editor then , and if i do that will the wordpress editor disappear. I read that switching to wpml edtior, i will need to add in the translated product again. Since this is a staging site , do you recommend I test that. and what is best practice, I am trying to understrand also if our developer has advised us incorrectly.
And I guess part of the issue is that if I use the woocommerce multilingual to translate the images, and choose save - since the content section of the product is miising in the backend like the image i sent now then with saving - the content decription disappears on the front end. so therefor I cannot update the translations in the woocommerce multilingul properly without having issues on the front end.
How can Iget the decription back into the woocommerce mutliingual?
So the big issue for me is that using either translation method. WPML - Translation or the WordPress editor - the content description tab has disappeared for certain products in the woocommmerce multilingual editor.
I sent 2 pictures in my last reply - I had changed 1 product to use the wpml editor to test - whether the content description tab then shows in the back end of the multilingual editor.
For all the products that i used elementor editor instead of the wordpress editor on the products page, after switching back to the wordpress editor - those content decription tabs are missing form the multilingual editor - therefor - if i translate the images and save - the content disappears from the product page - wordpress editor.
Do you understand the issue? Attaching some images for you again.
First image - Urban Bikepack black - you see the product description in the wordpress editor on the product page - wordpress editor is chosen.
picture 2) Urban Bikepack black in the woocommerce mulit currency multilingual translator - Content descritpion tab is missing from en and FR translations as well as de, sv. If i then save this translation the product description text disappears from the front end.
I need to use the mulitlingual tranlsator for images, but Icannot save because when i do the product text disappers from the front end due to no content tab being avalaible in the multiingual for these products that used elementor editor on the product page.
Now in the urban bikepack black I have saved the translations in the multilingual editior and then when i go bakc to the actual product page - the proidcut description has disappeared from the product page and is no longer available on the front end.
What you see on your screenshot is the Classic Translation Editor.
Also, on your third screenshot you see that in the right sidebar on the WordPress Editor, on the original product, the WordPress-Editor is set as translation method.
If you want to use the Classic Translation Editor, you need to the translation method on the original product to "WPML Translation Editor".
Then, edit the original product, save it again and open the Classic Translation Editor.
In case this does not solve the issue, please let me know.
I have now made the product Luna reflective gloves Dot - to use the wpml translator and saved the product to test if the description tab in the classic translaion editor reappears. But still there is no description tab available for translating the description on the classic translation editor and saving the translation has deleted the text from the wordpress product page leaving no decription there or in the front end.
And in my last message you see that if I save the content in the classic translation edtior when there is no description tab ( like i did with the product urban bikepack black) then the content is deleted and disappears from the wordpress editor and the front end and there is still no tab for description in the classic editor.
There for to restate the issue I am having is that there is no decription tab in the classic translation editor for certain products. If i therefor save the content in the classic editor it deletes the translation in the wordpress editor, and no description tab reappears int he classic translation editor.
