Problem: The client was experiencing slow page load times on their WooCommerce site and was unsure about the necessity of the 'make it multilingual with ID' feature for their theme. They also encountered a PHP error related to the theme triggering a function incorrectly, which could affect WPML String Translation performance.
Solution: 1. We adjusted the WPML settings for 'product_variation' post type to 'Translatable - only show translated items' to ensure global product attributes can be translated. 2. We recommended running the troubleshooting options available under WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency > Status > Troubleshooting to help improve site performance. 3. We deactivated the unsupported 'WPML All Import' addon and suggested removing unnecessary plugins. 4. We identified a PHP error caused by the theme related to the premature loading of text domains. We advised reporting this to the Porto Support Team and provided a link to further information on this issue: https://wpml.org/errata/php-error-wp-6-7-notice-function-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called/ 5. We tested the site with a default theme, which significantly improved the load time, suggesting the theme might be a contributing factor to the performance issues.

Problem: You are running a multilingual WooCommerce site and encountered an error stating that 'Some taxonomies in your site are forced to be untranslatable.' This issue is affecting the functionality of your multilingual site. Solution: First, ensure you have a backup of your site. Then, navigate to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Status to check for any messages or errors. Next, go to WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation. Here, ensure all related product taxonomies are set to either
'Translatable - only show translated items'
or
'Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language'

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where your product URLs do not display the correct translated slug in secondary languages initially, and only correct themselves after switching languages back and forth, this might be due to the fallback feature. Solution: We recommend two steps to address this issue: 1. Disable the fallback for products to prevent untranslated products from showing in the default language. For guidance on this step, please refer to our documentation: Disable fallback for products. 2. Duplicate the products to ensure they appear in all target languages. This can be efficiently done using WPML's bulk duplication feature. For more details, visit: Duplicate products.
