This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where changing a tag on a product in your shop causes the short description and description in other languages to be automatically overwritten with the content from the default language, this might be due to translation duplications.
Solution:
First, verify if the affected translations are set as duplicates of the original language. You can do this by editing the product and its translation in the admin area. If they are duplicates, you can click on the "Translate independently" button to stop syncing the content from the original product. For more details, please see the documentation here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/#how-to-convert-a-translation-into-a-duplicate
If this does not resolve the issue, you may need to access the database, search for the translation product ID, and delete the meta key "_icl_lang_duplicate_of". After making these changes, update the product in the original language.
