Hello,

In order to see if this issue is happening because of the configuration of your site, or just the combination of the Variation Swatches plugin & WPML we need to isolate the issue.

I’ve created a sandbox here: hidden link

I’ve already configured WPML in 2 languages.

Please do the following:

- Open the Sandbox link mentioned above

- Download and activate the Variation Swatches for WooCommerce plugin you are using.

- Create a basic product with similar variations as the ones you have under your live site and apply that plugin to it.

- Translate the product to second language and save the changes.

> Did the issue replicate? Please share your results with us

Please note that we only need the theme/plugin and the related functionality, you don’t need to set up a entire website or clone your existing site.

Let me know when it is done.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your patience,

I see that this works in a minimal environment,

Would it be possible to temporarily disable all your plugins except of WPML, woocommerce and Swatch plugins? Could you also try a default theme?

I could do this for you if needed, i could also copy your site locally and do it there if you don't want to affect your live site.

Yes, the site copy is needed. I can do it by myself if needed.

Whait a minute, I'll do the copy

Hello,

Thank you so much for your patience,

The issue should be fixed now : hidden link

It turned out to be a synchronization issue between variations, here is what I have done :

I went to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Settings > troubleshooting (bottom of the page) and selected these options related to product variations and then hit start : hidden link

Have a nice day,

Why do say that it works now? Nothing has changed. I did what you told, followed every step in our website but it didn't change anything. The elements with changed strings is still missing:
