henrikt-5	Hello, I have problems with WPML creating new attributes by itself in languages that are not master language. Ex. Masterlanguage Swedish where "Frankrike" and "Italien" are set as values for the attribute "Country of origin". They are then translated into French and English. However, WPML also creates by itself the values "France", "Italy" and "Italie" now and then and even when I delete the values, they keep coming back. This creates display problems in the filter on the frontend where values display in different languages. I already had a ticket on this, but the support person did not have the skill and created more problems on my site than help (almost site breakdown...) so I preferred to close that ticket. The problem remains. I hope setting attributes in a master language and then translate them into other languages is not rocket science in WPML and that I can find a solution. I already spent 10ths of hours setting up everything manually and it still doesn't work and it's been years I've had this problem so there is quiet a dose of frustration linked to this ticket. Thank you in advance.
