[Resolved] Split: Product short description & Product description keep showing up after deleting original values

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with the translation of product descriptions and short descriptions not updating correctly in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), this might be due to a specific bug.
Solution:
We have escalated this issue to our second-tier support for further investigation. Meanwhile, if you're looking for a workaround, you can modify the function

save_package_to_job()

in the file

.../wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/translation-jobs/class-wpml-element-translation-package.php

. Change the following code:

if ( array_key_exists( $field, $prev_translation ) ) {
  $job_translate['field_data_translated'] = $prev_translation[ $field ]->get_translation();
  $job_translate['field_finished']        = $prev_translation[ $field ]->is_finished( $value['data'] );
}

To:

if ( array_key_exists( $field, $prev_translation ) && !empty( $value['data'] ) ) {
  $job_translate['field_data_translated'] = $prev_translation[ $field ]->get_translation();
  $job_translate['field_finished']        = $prev_translation[ $field ]->is_finished( $value['data'] );
}
