polysA	I am trying to: create a WooCommerce WPML translation for an existing product from 'en' to 'el' (language) using the "/wp-json/wc/v3/products" API end-point but instead of creating a new translation, the WooCommerce/WPML API creates a new product in 'en' language that is not connected to its "translation_of" English Language product. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link English (working): hidden link Greek (problematic): hidden link I expected to see: the Greek Language product to be created under the 'el' language and as a translation to the 'en' English Language product. Instead, I got: a new product in 'en' language that is not connected to its "translation_of" English Language product.

Prosenjit Barman WPML Supporter since 03/2023 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Dhaka (GMT+06:00)	Hello There, Thanks for contacting WPML Support. I understand the issue you're having and will try my best to assist you in this matter. I conducted a test by creating a product and its corresponding translation through the WooCommerce REST API and can confirm that everything is working properly. The product and its translation are appropriately linked. You can view the results in these screenshots: Translation executed via REST-API [ hidden link ], and in the backend [ hidden link ]. Please be informed that the "lang" and "translation_of" parameter depends on the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin. Could you please make sure that the latest version of the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin is activated on your site? If it is activated, please make sure that the translated products have been created as per the instructions mentioned here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/using-wordpress-rest-api-woocommerce-multilingual/#create-products Let me know the update. I will be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter. Best regards, Prosenjit
