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

Problem:
I am having an issue with translating product attributes in WooCommerce using WPML. I have products in three languages: Dutch (origin), German, and French. The Dutch version serves as the leading product with attributes, SKU, EAN, and stock. However, when translating the attributes for the German and French versions, I encountered difficulties, and following the provided documentation did not resolve the problem.

Solution:
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that attributes are translated into all languages.
2. Edit a product in the original language (Dutch), make a small change to the content, save the changes, and update the translation.
3. Verify if the issue is resolved.

Hi,

I have imported all the products I used in Shopify. I use 3 languages. Dutch (origin), German, France.
So for the translation I did the following:
1. Connect the German products to the Dutch product
2. Connect the French product to the German product

The Dutch products have product attributes.
The Dutch product is the leading product (SKU, EAN, stock)

The question: How can I translate the attributes so the Dutch version is the leading in stock ect.?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the reply.
It does not work.

I've generated the tables for attributes again, with no result.

Hi there,

As you can see in the first screenshot you shared, the attributes are not translated to all languages. Please translate the attributes to all languages and then follow these steps:
- Edit one of the products that contains one of these attributes in the original language
- Make a small change to the content
- Save the changes
- Update the translation
- Double-check if the issue disappeared.

Could you tell me the results of the steps described above?
