Problem:
If you're using
apply_filters('wpml_copy_post_to_language') to create translations of products and find that it does not copy product attributes, you might encounter difficulties in achieving complete product translations.
Solution:
First, ensure that in WPML > Settings, under Taxonomy translation, the translation preference for Attributes is set to "Copy". If this does not resolve the issue, you can manually copy product attributes using custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Create an independent translation of the post in the target language using
$translated_post_id = apply_filters('wpml_copy_post_to_language', $product->get_id(), $target_language, false);2. Retrieve the translated product with
$translated_product = wc_get_product($translated_post_id);
3. Get attributes from the original product with
$attributes = $product->get_attributes();
4. Set these attributes to the translated product with
$translated_product->set_attributes($attributes);
5. Save the translated product with
$translated_product->save();
If you need further customization, consider hiring a developer from WPML Contractors.
