Problem:
You are trying to ensure that products in a second language have a default variation selected, but despite upgrading WPML WooCommerce Multilingual to version 5.5.2.3, the issue persists.
Solution:
We recommend modifying a specific file to address this issue. Please follow these steps:
1. Open the file

/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/classes/Synchronization/Component/Attributes.php

.
2. Change the following section:

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

to:

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

3. Save the original product to trigger a synchronization, which should assign the proper default attribute.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Problem:
The client is unable to publish or display a variation for a new variable product on their WooCommerce/WPML site. Despite following all known troubleshooting procedures, the variation is not visible or available for purchase.
Solution:
1. Ensure all required attributes are translated and linked. Go to WooCommerce → WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency → Attributes and confirm that all product attributes used for variations are fully translated. Use the Synchronize Attributes button if any attribute translations appear out of sync.
2. Check the product and variation status to ensure they are set to “Published” and not “Draft” or “Pending Review”.
3. Ensure each variation has necessary data, especially a price, as WooCommerce hides variations without prices.
4. Check if the translations of your product attributes match the translated variations. Manually edit the translated variation, ensure the correct attribute values are selected, and save.
5. Resave permalinks by going to Settings → Permalinks and clicking “Save Changes”.
6. Remove ghost entries from translation tables via WPML → Support → Troubleshooting.
7. Check for theme or plugin conflicts by temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme and deactivating unrelated plugins.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be due to a more complex problem. We recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
