Stéphane	Hi ! I'm trying to translate virtual downloadable product to have the possibility to download technical sheets in different languages. But the fields are locked in the other language. Is it possible to unlock this or it is just not possible to translate a virtual downloadable product ? Thank you in advance for your answer

Christopher Amirian Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, The Virtual Product translation process is no different from the simple product and you need to do it by going to Woocommerce > Woocommerce Multilingual > Products (Tab). Here is how to do that: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/#products To know more about the general setup of Woocommerce multilingual please read this documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/ Thank you.

Stéphane	Hi, Thank you for the answer but in the Products tab, when I click on a product, the fields to modify this aren't there. When I got on a product (Products in WooCommerce), the fields are also locked (image attached). Kind Regards, Stephane

But it should be available for you in the Translation Editor. I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website, just in case something happens, you will have a point of restore. I set the next reply to private so you can provide the information safely. Thank you.
