[Resolved] Default variation selected on translated products

Hi,

I suspect that the problem here is that the 'Taille des gants' terms (3,4,5,6,7,8, and so on) were created in French, the second language, and not in English, the default language. Please see the attached screenshot. I tested the same behaviour on my test site, and the problem occurs there as well. Fixing this problem would be creating those terms again in English and then updating the variations accordingly.

I'm currently discussing this issue with our second-tier supporters. I'm trying to find out with them whether it is a translation proceedure problem or something we need to fix on our side. When I have their answer, I'll update you here.

I appreciate your patience.
Itamar.

P.S. If possible, please keep your staging site in its current state.

Hi, Thibaud.

Apparently, you or one of your colleagues already reported this problem, and we have already provided a fix. Please check your other ticket:

For your convenience, I'm sharing the suggested workaround.

1. Take a backup of your site in case something goes wrong.

2. Edit this file with a code editor, or use the plugin editor in Plugins -> Plugin File editor: /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/classes/Synchronization/Component/Attributes.php

3. Replace this part:

					$defaultTermTranslations = $defaultTerm
						? $this->elementTranslations->get_element_translations( $defaultTerm->term_taxonomy_id, false, true )
						: [];

with this:

					$defaultTermTranslations = $defaultTerm
						? $this->elementTranslations->get_element_translations( $defaultTerm->term_taxonomy_id, false, false )
						: [];

4. Save the changes.

5. Go to the editing screen of the original product and click the Updated button.

This will fix the problem with the default attribute on the translated product. I tried this fix on your staging site, and it worked. Please see the attached screenshot. Please also apply it to your production site. Please be aware that if you update WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce and the fix is not yet included in the new version, you will need to repeat the above steps.

This issue has been escalated to our developers and will be fixed in future versions of WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce. We will update you here once the version with the fix is released.

I appreciate your patience.
Itamar.

Hi,

Yes, after an update that will not include the ifx, you will need to apply the workaround again.

About your second concern, the need to update all the products. You can update all the products in bulk. To do that, go to Products -> All Products, and select all of the products that show on the screen. Then from the bulk action drop-down, select Edit. And then just click the Update button. Repeat this action if you have more products in secondary screens. Please see the attached screenshots.

Regards,
Itamar.
