michaelR-151	Background of the issue: I am trying to use WPML to keep 3 sites in 3 languages in sync so they look the same. Here is a link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Symptoms: Tags seem to be out of sync for the 2 secondary languages. I expected the 3 sites to always be in sync and not have support cases. Questions: Why are the tags out of sync for the secondary languages? How can I ensure the sites remain in sync across all languages?

Example: If you update the English translation for this product, does it solve the issue? hidden link Does this solve the issue? --- If this does not solve the issue: Are you translating the products using the WPML Translation Editor? Do you see any configuration issues at WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency > Status? Best regards Andreas

michaelR-151	Hi. Thank you. In this case I did not change text in the items, but what I do is change item tags on the items of the primary language. I do that with WP Sheeteditor ( manually add and delete tags on items and save) and I do that with PHP scripts (night batch jobs runs scripts that changes fore exapmle old items to "Ooutlet" items via tags. Does WPML not catch suchs changes and sync them? I guees this scenario is normal for a webshop, items are changing all the time in price, discount and tags as time changes and market changes. Item texts are seldom changed. Looking forward to hear from you. Regards Michael

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	WPML relies on WordPress's save_post action to update the translation status. Each translation needs to be updated after the original content has changed. Does it solve the issue if you edit one of the original products, save the product, and then update the translation?
