Problem: If you're experiencing issues with variable products on your WooCommerce + WPML website, where variation dropdowns are empty or display values in the default language (French) in secondary languages (EN, DE, ES, IT), the issue might be due to incorrect translation settings for the _product_attributes custom field. Solution: We recommend checking the WPML configuration for the custom field settings. Here's how you can resolve this: 1. Navigate to WPML → Settings → Custom XML Configuration tab and update the configuration to:
3. Go to the original product and make a minor change, such as modifying the description (you can revert this change afterward). 4. Update the product to trigger updates to the translation. 5. If the issue persists, try running the troubleshooting settings in WCML again.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If necessary, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
