Issues with wp all import+wpml woocommerce products import with 2 different languages

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

Problem:
You are experiencing issues importing products using WP All Import with the WPML Import Export plugin installed. Despite following all instructions, you end up with more products in English than in another language, even though your Excel file has equal products listed as translations.
Solution:
We found that the import setting 'Skip WooCommerce products if their data in your file has not changed' was enabled, which we disabled and ran another successfull import.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

I suggest you give this a test and adjust the templates to your needs. If you can replicate the issue, let me know, and I will be glad to take a look at it. Important: Make sure to keep this unique identifier in the last step: {title[1]} - {product_id[1]} - {sku[1]}{size[1]}

Sevag	I imported with your settings with the unique identifier {title[1]} - {product_id[1]} - {sku[1]}{size[1]} and still the same wrong results. Also imported the categories separately. I've following you docs and everything please help me to fix this issue, it's taking too long already.
