Problem: The client needed to synchronize products between Dutch and German versions on their website, using the same SKU for each product. They encountered issues where the German version of a page was not displaying correctly, even though it was published. Solution: We advised the client to use the WPML export and import tool to link translations together, which can be found here: WPML Export and Import documentation. Additionally, for the issue with the German page not displaying, it was discovered that the page was still in drafts, and we recommended publishing it through the language switcher on the admin bar. For the broader issue of synchronizing products, we suggested exporting all feeds and merging them into a single CSV file for each language. This approach allows for the use of the 'Automatic Record Matching to Translate' feature during the import process. We recommended testing this solution on a sandbox site to ensure the correct setup of the 'import template'.
