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

Problem:
The client is trying to change the slug for products in the French version on their WooCommerce site but the changes are not taking effect. The products in the French version appear to be duplicates of the English version, and there are concerns about SEO optimization and duplicate content.

Solution:
1. Ensure the slug is updated in WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Store URLs. After updating, resave the permalinks.
2. If the issue persists, go to WPML > String Translation, search for the original slug, and remove it. Then, try updating the slugs again from WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation > Products.
3. To display only translated products and avoid duplicates, go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation, find Products, and set the translation preference to "Translatable - only show translated items".
4. The slug 'acheter' was already in use for product category base translation, causing a conflict. We resolved this by renaming the category base slug to

acheter-1

, which allowed the French product URLs to work correctly. A different slug should be used for the French category base translation.

If this solution doesn't look relevant, please open a new support ticket.
