Itamar WPML Supporter since 02/2016 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Jerusalem (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Please try the following. Go to WooCommerce -> WCML -> Settings (tab) and scroll down and click the Troubleshooting link. There try WCML's troubleshooting options. If it does not help, please also try WPML's main troubleshooting section. 1. Take a backup of the DB of your site. 2. Go to WPML -> Support -> Troubleshooting (link) 3. Once on the troubleshooting screen, press the following buttons and check if it helps. Press each button at a time and wait for the process to complete. - 'Disable cache for language switcher templates' - 'Clear language information and repopulate languages' button (if it is showing) - 'Synchronize posts taxonomies' for 'Products' - 'Clear the cache in WPML' - 'Remove ghost entries from the translation tables' - 'Fix element_type collation' - 'Fix WPML tables collation' - 'Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs' - 'Set language information' - 'Reset languages' Press this button only if you didn't add a custom language! - 'Fix terms count' - 'Fix post type assignment for translations' - 'Cleanup and optimize string tables' - 'Clear invalid strings' * Please make a backup of your database before using this.* You can read more about the troubleshooting options here: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-troubleshooting-options/ Please let me know how it goes. Regards, Itamar.

kasperG	Hi. Indeed it does. How can I implement this on the live site? Also "length" in the attached should be "Længde". Can this be corrected as well?

kasperG	Hi See attached. The text reads "Størrelse" in Danish - but when translating it is displayed as "Product Size". The same goes for "Length" in my previous answer. Something is not right.
