Hello, we've been using WPML for some time and happy with it. Today we face a challenge while working with Channable. They are telling us that in order to use their services (to sell on Amazon, eBay, etc), a product needs to have a single product ID regardless of the language.
What is happening today is that if we create a new product on woocommerce let's say 1000, when creating translation in EN and DE it will create product ID 1001 and 1002.
We would like to know if it's possible to have product ID 1000 for the same product. And then inside the product have the translation performed.
That would give us product ID 1000 and then 3 languages on it.
This is how or woocommerce looks for the same product.
Unfortunately that's not possible. The way that WordPress works, each translation is an individual post with it's own ID (that's the case for posts, pages, products, taxonomies etc...).
WPML and "WooCommerce Multilingual" solve this is by locking and sync'ing some fields such as stock, SKU etc...
I'm not familiar with Channable but maybe you could export only your main language?
Don't hesitate to provide me as much detail as possible including screenshots or a video for better understanding.
