chantalM-5	Hello, The issue mentioned earlier is resolved, but now there are a lot of products in the webstore that have lost their translated versions and a lot of products are now showing duplicates in the original language (NL) and have no translations. All product images have also disappeared... Right now every issue we're having with the webstore is caused by WPML for one reason or the other. We don't report 90% of our issues but solve it ourselves. If it turns out that translated products need to be redone we want to be reimbursed for the costs we make. See attached image for an example.
