wpmluser78694856	Tell us what you are trying to do? I'm having a product in Danish (primary language) and English. I've added this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/product-gtin-ean-upc-isbn-for-woocommerce/ (I see it just went through a review on wp, but there is also another plugin that does the same. same result). Now that plugin adds a GTIN/EAN number. That's great and I can put the EAN number on a product. In Danish it works great and shows the EAN number. But in English, the EAN number is N/A. Why does WPML not translate this? I've tried to see in settings if I could find a "custom field", but couldn't. How can I get WPML to copy the EAN number to the English product, so it's the same as in Danish? Is there any documentation that you are following? No Is there a similar example that we can see? No What is the link to your site? Antidark.dk -> hidden link
