Problem: After installing WPML and WooCommerce Multilingual, all variable products changed to grouped products and lost their prices and variations. Solution: 1. Remove all entries in
icl_translations
where the type is
tax_product_type
using the SQL query:
DELETE FROM `m7ug_icl_translations` WHERE `element_type` = 'tax_product_type';
2. Update WPML to the latest version. 3. Complete the WPML setup. 4. Run the troubleshooting function from WPML by navigating to WPML>Support> Troubleshooting > Set language information. 5. Update the product only if necessary.

Problem: The client added a new shipping class named 'S' and filled in the appropriate shipping fees. However, when adding a product with this new class to the cart, the fees are calculated in French but not in English. Solution: 1. Configure the translation of taxonomies: - Navigate to WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation. - Locate the 'product_shipping_class' taxonomy. - Set the taxonomy to 'Translatable - only show translated items'. 2. Translate the shipping classes: - Go to WPML > Taxonomy Translation. - Select 'product_shipping_class' from the dropdown menu. - Click the plus icon next to each shipping class to enter the translation of the name, slug, and description. 3. Force the calculator to only work when the address is typed. 4. Resynchronize the shipping classes. 5. Change the backend language to 'all languages', edit the zones, and re-save them. 6. Retranslate the 'S' class from WPML > Taxonomy Translation.
