dafyddS	Background of the issue: I've exported my WooCommerce products from another site and imported them to hidden link. I am trying to import products with translations using WPML. Symptoms: The translation version of each product appears as a new product instead of being linked to the original product. Questions: How can I import products with translations correctly using WPML?

Carlos Rojas WPML Supporter since 03/2017 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: Europe/Madrid (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for contacting us To correctly export/import products and their translations, you must follow the steps described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-export-and-import/. There you will also find examples for Woocommerce products that will help you run the export/import process correctly. Note: I have noticed that your site is using PHP v8.3.22. I'd recommend downgrading to v8.2 or v8.1 because not all plugins and themes in the WordPress environment are fully compatible with PHP v8.3.22. Best regards, Carlos
