Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate variable products on my site hidden link using WPML. I want the SKUs on product variations to remain consistent across different languages.
Symptoms:
When translating variable products, the SKU on the variations stays the same as the parent SKU, causing the variations to have different SKUs in English and Spanish.
Questions:
How can I ensure that SKUs for product variations remain consistent across different languages using WPML?
Hello,
I apologize for the delay in responding. I will handle this ticket; the reply time will be shorter now.
To ensure the quickest and most accurate support, please provide your debug information so I can look at some of your configurations. We have an excellent article on how to locate it here: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/.
WooCommerce Multilingual does not translate the SKU's by default, what you've described is the expected behaviour (same SKU across languages).
I visited your site: hidden link
and the SKU is the same for all variations in English.
Did you change it? Did you manage to solve the problem?
If not, I suggest doing the following test:
**IMPORTANT:** Please try this in a staging environment or at least with a backup of your site files and database before continuing.
Disable all plugins except WooCommerce and WPML-related, and temporarily change the theme to a default WordPress theme such as Twenty Twenty-five. Create a new variable product, translate it, and check how the SKU behaves.
Is the issue resolved with these settings? If so, please reactivate one by one to see which conflicts.
Best Regards,
Otto
