This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with translating a WooCommerce composite product into Italian using WPML. The translation process was not functioning correctly, sometimes affecting the default English product as well. Specifically, when scenarios were added to composite products, the component dropdown options were not displaying correctly in the Italian version, though they worked fine in English.
Solution:
We advised the client to ensure that all plugins were up to date and to use the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) for translating products. It was important to translate using ATE rather than the WordPress Editor to avoid issues with saving changes and to ensure the translation process was handled correctly by WPML. We also suggested translating the products step-by-step using ATE and checking if the issue persisted. If problems continued, we recommended deactivating the WPML plugins temporarily to verify if the issue was indeed related to WPML or if it was an issue with the WooCommerce Composite Products plugin.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 problem persists, please open a new support ticket here.

Hi Carlos, we followed all your suggestions but unfortunately issue is still there. I have checked 'Angular Potentiometer SRH301-SRH302' product. Unfortunately still issue is there. Additionally, I set up the same user access on the live site for WPML support. which is made at the staging site. Product link :- hidden link See the video link to show what has been done: hidden link You can access the live web site with the following credentials: [removed] I'm getting tired with this problem...I'm loosing money because I can't be alive with my website because of this bug. I'm sure you understand my point. Waiting for your kind and prompt feedback. Many thanks, Kind Regards, Mario garsi |

Hi Mario, I watched the video, but I don't see where you updated the Italian translation. Could you share another video but this time with audio (so I can better understand everything you are pointing) and include the step to update the Italian product using the Translation Editor? Note: I removed the credentials to the production site because you shared them publicly. |

Here is the recorded video with audio :- hidden link Here is the product link :- Could you please check it and let me know. As I mention in the video If I create scenarios in the product some how options are changed in the English version. And scenarios are not working. Example :- If I create scenarios in English version and do the translate then Its need to automatically appear in the Italian version as well. Check with that flow and let me know. Many thanks |

Hi, I understand that you are facing a problem with adding the scenarios in the English product, which is the product in the default language where WPML makes no changes. So the problem with the English product can't be solved by our support service, in this case, you will need to contact the composite products support service and ask them to check on their side why it is not working with the product in English. Also, every time you make a change in the content (posts, pages, products, etc) you need to update the translation so the changes take effect. If the product in Italian (secondary language) doesn't get the changes correctly, then we must take a look (from the WPML perspective). |

Hi Carlos, FYI :- When I did the testing. It worked when I deactivated the WPML plugins and created the scenarios. Also you are saying that issues is coming from the composite products side, So live and staging site is same then why its working on the staging site & not in live site? Also I follow steps in live which you provided then also it's not working on live.. So could you please check it from your side and let me know. |
