Problem:
You are trying to translate products on your site using WPML and find the new product translation method, which requires assigning translators, unsuitable for your needs. You prefer a method where every admin can translate content directly without needing to be assigned as a translator.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend the following steps:
1. Ensure that the classic translation method is selected in WPML. This can be done by navigating to WPML -> Translation Management and checking the settings.
2. If you want administrators on your site to translate products directly, they should go to WPML -> Translation Management, select the products, and assign them to themselves.
3. Alternatively, you can translate products by editing a product in the original language and then clicking on the translation icon that appears in the right column under the Languages block.
