This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wanted to know how to keep product titles the same across all languages without translating them when adding new products.
Solution:
We recommend duplicating the full product page, which will keep the product title the same in all languages. However, this approach will also duplicate the entire content of the product page, not just the title. To duplicate content, you can follow the instructions provided in our documentation: Displaying Untranslated Content on Pages in Secondary Languages.

Please note that this solution might not be relevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If this doesn't solve your issue, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket in the WPML support forum.

Hello,

Is there a way to not translate product titles when adding new products?

We want to keep the same product names for all languages.

Hi there.

What you can do is duplicate the full product page (https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-on-pages-in-secondary-languages/) but that will also duplicate the content and not only the product title.

That's the only option for accomplishing this. We like to offer people the chance to translate as much content as possible so that also includes the title of the product (which, together with the description, are the most translated parts of content from a product page).

I hope that you will find this answer helpful.
