sebastianK-91	Background of the issue: I am trying to deactivate 'manage stock' across my product variations. However, my translated pages in America and Poland have the option to manage stock ticked, whereas my UK default has it unticked as I wanted it. It's causing stock availability issues on the customer end. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link Sometimes I'm able to match up one of the translations to the UK settings but then the other doesn't follow suit. It's extremely frustrating. Symptoms: Some of my variations are out of stock in the US and Poland because the manage stock option is ticked and locked. Questions: Why are the translated pages not using the same 'manage stock' settings as the default page? How can I ensure that the 'manage stock' option is unticked on all translated pages?

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me try to help with the issue quickly. I can see that you've edited the manage stock option here hidden link . Keep in mind that you need to retranslate the product so that updated options gets copied over to the translated product. I hope it helps.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Please do not change the custom field settings for stock. The stock will be synced by our addon "WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency". You can not have different stocks per language when using WPML with WooCommerce on translated products. To achieve this you need to create original products one each language. Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation and click "Show system fields". Now make sure the following settings are applied: _stock -> Dont' translate _manage_stock -> Copy _stock_status -> Copy _tax_class -> Copy _tax_status -> Copy _virtual -> Copy _regular_price -> Copy _sold_individually -> Copy Also, revise WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency if there are any further config issue. Best regards Andreas

sebastianK-91	Thank you for sending over these settings. They make perfect sense and I've selected each one. We have 3 languages: UK default, US translation, Polish translation. UK default = no manage stock US translation = no manage stock (changes seemed to make the difference) PL translation = manage stock I can't get the Polish translated page to match up with the other two pages.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Have you already tried to update the translation? These settings will only be applied of you run a translation with the WPML Translation Editor, which means, if a field is set to "Copy", then the setting will be copied in the background while translating the content with the WPML Translation Editor.
