Hello Shekhar,

Thanks for the update. I have updated plugin code to not use variation id in field and save data and updated code to reflect on front side. I also updated wpml config file in plugin to use updated field. Still its not working. The updated filed now is

Creating field
$meta_key = 'product_side_variation_image_' . $index;
$image_id = get_post_meta( $variation->ID, $meta_key, true );

Saving field
$meta_key = 'product_side_variation_image_' . absint( $index );
update_post_meta( $variation_id, $meta_key, absint( $image_id ) );

Wpml config
<custom-field action="copy">product_side_variation_image_*</custom-field>

Still not duplicating / copying for translation.

Hello there,

Can you go to WPML->Settings->Custom fields translations and check if the fields are set to copy? If not you will need to run the script or manually set the fields as copy.

If it doesn't work, please provide me the product url so I can check.

Thanks
