I am trying to: I have products in WooCommerce that I'm trying to translate into other languages. Everything is working well, and WPML is doing a great job. However, when I update the product status from 'publish' to 'draft,' the translated version remains visible to end clients

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: Some of the products on the website hidden link are available in English, but in the native language (Croatian), they have been moved to draft status.

I expected to see: I would like to have automated synchronisation between languages, eliminating the need for manual language selection and status changes for each product. When I update the status in the native language, I expect it to be automatically updated across all languages

Instead, I got: Currently, when I change the status of a product from 'publish' to 'draft,' the English version is always published, and the status does not reflect the product accurately.

Hello There,
Thanks for contacting WPML Support. I would be happy to assist you in this matter.

I understood that you would like the publishing status of products to be automatically synchronized across languages. Currently, WPML does not offer this feature. The reason for this is explained in this response: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/post-page-status-not-being-synchronised/#post-7122047

However, for now, you can try one of the following methods:
- Change the Publishing status of the Translated product.
- Or, you can use the plugin below to have the post status synced (the feature is not officially part of WPML yet)

Plugin: hidden link

The steps after installing the plugin are mentioned in the readme file associated with it.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need help.

Best regards,
Prosenjit
