Background of the issue:
I am trying to make the Categories column in the WP dashboard's Product list for the secondary language show the correct text string. You can see the issue here: hidden link
Symptoms:
In WP Dashboard > Products with the secondary language selected, the Categories column shows the English product category text instead of the translated string. I expected to see the product category name translated into the secondary language, but instead, I got the untranslated English product category name.
Questions:
Why is the Categories column showing the English product category text instead of the translated string?
How can I make the Categories column show the correct translated text string for the secondary language?
Languages: English (English )German (Deutsch )French (Français )

Hi,
Thank you for contacting WPML support!
Can you try the following:
- WPML - > Support -> Troubleshooting:
– Synchronize posts taxonomies (for products and then for variations)
-- Clear the cache in WPML
-- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables
-- Set language information
-- Fix terms count
-- Fix post type assignment for translations
Please make a full backup of your site before trying this or make these changes on a staging/development site!
I ran through those steps. The result was that all products' categorise were reset to Uncategorised. I went through and set a category for each of the English versions of the products, and the secondary language is now displaying correctly.
