I created 75 product categories in woocommerce (default product_cat, not custom tax), in wpml settings, the 'thumbnail_id' is set to 'copy', I translated all product categories in secondary language, but the product category thumbnail is not copied to the translation, I get the default woocommerce thumbnail png instead.
What did I do wrong ?
Thank you

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Please try running the Sync options in Woocommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency > Status > Troubleshooting. Before you do that, please perform a full backup.

If this doesn't work, navigate to WPML > Settings > Media Translation > Click Start to sync

Let me know how it goes.

Oh I spoke a bit fast, in the back-office, all images are synced which is great, but when I call an image, for example like this : 

$thumbnail_id = get_term_meta( $card_product_cat->term_id, 'thumbnail_id', true );     
$image_attributes = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumbnail_id, 'product-swiper');
$image_attributes_hd = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumbnail_id, 'product-swiper-hd');

And this is the custom image size in functions.php : 

add_image_size( 'product-swiper', 440, 535, true );
add_image_size( 'product-swiper-hd', 880, 1070, true );

The main language returns the good resolution, but the secondary language looks for a 425*535 and 850*1070 file, so it returns a 404.
The resolution of add_image_size might have been 425*880 some time ago before I changed it recently, and all thumbnails have been regenerated (regenarate thumbnails).
What could be pulling this resolution and generating this issue?
And as I understood, I don't need wpml_media because I want to always use the same images in all languages. Am I wrong?

My issue is resolved, I just had to open every product_cat in the secondary language and save them again.
