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

Problema:
El cliente tenía problemas con la descripción de productos que no aparecían traducidos en el idioma secundario.
Solución:
1. Pedimos al cliente que actualizara todos los plugins y temas desactualizados para evitar conflictos en el código.
2. Tradujimos dos cadenas de texto específicas y pedimos al cliente que confirmara si el problema se había resuelto.
3. Actualizamos la traducción al 100% de un producto y sugerimos al cliente que hiciera lo mismo con otro producto como prueba, asegurándose de descartar la traducción en la sección de traducción de cadenas por el momento.

Si estás experimentando este mismo problema, te recomendamos que sigas los pasos anteriores. Sin embargo, la solución podría no ser relevante para tu caso si es obsoleta o no aplicable. En ese caso, te sugerimos abrir un nuevo ticket de soporte. También recomendamos encarecidamente revisar los problemas conocidos, verificar la versión de la solución permanente y confirmar que has instalado las últimas versiones de temas y plugins. Si necesitas asistencia adicional, por favor, contacta con nosotros en el foro de soporte de WPML.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing the access credentials to the site.

Before we continue I need to ask you to update all outdated plugins and themes that appear in this link: hidden link

Outdated functionalities can cause conflicts in the code.

Please let me know when this is done.
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your message.

I translated these two strings and the issue seems to be solved: hidden link

Can you confirm that the issue is solved?

Hello Carlos,

So you translated them in the String translations as I can see.
I am not using String translations but I am translating products directly in Product Translation. (check attached image)
Now when you translated in String translations the text appears.

How can I find other products that have missing description and need to be updated through String translations?

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

I updated the translation (100%) of the product and everything seems to be correct. Please use another product as a test and fully translate it, then double-check if the issue persists.

Note: Please discard the translation in string translation for now.

Regards,
Carlos

Hello Carlos,

I have found another example which I don't understand (check attachment):

Original lang: hidden link

Traslation lang: hidden link

1. In product translation description is missing - empty text field
2. In string translation gutenberg-2720 - the croatian translation is empty
3. On front end - croatian translation

Where does the text in croatian front end come from? Where is it saved if all the text fields are empty?

I have left this product intact so you can check. What should we do in this example?

Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Maybe the translation is stuck in the database or is coming from a custom field (similar to the one we translated via String Translation)

I recommend you make sure each product is 100% translated to avoid other issues and rule out possible causes.

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

this product was already 100% translated. The problem is that for some unkown reason the description gets lost. All the products were 100% translated but now some have missing descriptions and we can't detect which one until we see on the front end.

Jan

Hi Jan,

I understand the problem, however, I'm not able to reproduce it in order to isolate its cause. Do you remember any change made on the site right before you started noticing the missing descriptions?

Also, are you 100% sure that these descriptions were translated in the first place?

Regards,
Carlos

Hi there,

Could you create a staging site with a copy of the live site where we can run further tests on without affecting the production site?

Carlos

Hi Jan,
Thank you very much for creating the staging site.

I left the staging site in a minimal setup, ran some troubleshooting steps but the issue persists.

Could you describe the steps used to translate the products? Also, could you tell me what actions were made right before you noticed this problem?

Regards,
Carlos
