This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are using the Variation Images Gallery PRO for WooCommerce plugin to add multiple images to each product variation in your multilingual WooCommerce store. After creating products in the default language (Italian) and translating them using WPML, you've noticed that the variation image galleries are not copied to the translated versions of the products.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking if the related image fields are set to copy. You can do this by navigating to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields > Show system fields. Look for any related image field and set it to copy. Afterwards, go back to your default language product and save the product. For more detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on Translating Custom Fields.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Could you please clarify what is the recommended way to sync variation image galleries from the default language to the translations?

ello,

Thanks for contacting us.

It should work fine, but maybe the related fields are not set to copy. Please go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields > Show system fields and try to check for any related image field and set it to copy. Then go to your default language product and save product.

Let me know how it goes and if this helps.
