Problem: The client was facing an issue where not all product variations were visible in secondary languages on their website, despite using WPML tools to synchronize and fix relationships. Solution: We first confirmed that the issue was isolated to specific products and requested access to the site's backend for further investigation. After gaining access and upon further testing on a staging site, we identified that some product attributes were not translated. We resolved the issue by translating all relevant attributes in WooCommerce -> WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency -> Attributes tab. After translating, we used the sync button at the bottom of the page to ensure all attributes were correctly synchronized across languages. This solution was then applied to the production site, resolving the visibility issue of product variations.
