Issue:
WPML Taxonomy Translation for WooCommerce product attributes is not synchronizing translation status correctly and cannot be used to translate any taxonomy. Any edits done cannot be deleted.
Behavior:
* Attribute term translations DO save correctly in the database.
* Front-end translations display correctly.
* However, WPML Taxonomy Translation always shows the circular “needs update” icon for translated terms.
* The status never changes to fully translated/completed.
* Any editing done on Taxonomy Translation (text added) cannot be deleted anymore.
Important findings:
* Editing translations directly from:
Products → Attributes → Configure terms
works correctly.
* Editing translated term descriptions directly saves normally.
* Front-end output is correct after saving.
* The issue only affects WPML Taxonomy Translation translation / synchronization / status.
Additional details:
* WooCommerce attributes are configured as:
* WPML troubleshooting tools were already executed:
Observed behavior:
* Taxonomy Translation still marks terms as “needs update”
* Translation package/state appears out of sync
* Direct term editing bypasses the issue
Request:
Please investigate why WooCommerce attribute term translations does not work and remains permanently in “needs update” state.
