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

Problem:
The client needs to delete a product from all languages simultaneously when it goes out of sale, rather than just from one language.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend two approaches:
1. Manually switch languages using the language switcher at the top of the products listing page and delete each translation individually.
2. Alternatively, enable the option

When deleting a post, delete translations as well

in WPML > Settings > Posts and pages synchronization. By doing this, when you delete the original product in the default language, it will automatically delete all its translations as well.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 for further assistance.

Hello, the user has a problem: when the product goes OUT of sale, he would like to delete the product from all languages not just one. Is it this possible?

Hello. This is possible of course.
You can either manually switch languages when on the products listing page by using the language switcher on top of the toolbar, or you can activate the option " When deleting a post, delete translations as well" in WPML > Settings > Posts and pages synchronization and when you delete the original product, it will delete the translations as well.

Hi George, thank you. Is it important which language you are deleting?

Example: our Primary language is Slovenia. If we are editing German and delete it Slovenian will be deleted as well and vice verse?

Hello,

you should delete it in the default language, as that is the original product and others are translations.
