This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client's store default language is English with the currency in USD. They want to display different currencies based on the language, specifically GBP for the UK, without duplicating content or losing automatic translation capabilities. Further, they need to translate the footer. Solution: 1. Set posts and pages to "Translatable - fallback to default language if a translation does not exist" under WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation. This allows the UK content to display the original US content without creating translations or duplicates for the UK. Guide 2. For currency settings, navigate to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency, and under the Currency tab, set a default currency for each language. Guide 3. To ensure the footer links retain the correct language parameter, translate the widgets via WPML > String Translation, selecting the text domain "Widgets". Guide

Background of the issue:
My store default language is English, currency is USD. I want to show the currency base on language. But for united Kingdom it has the same language with United Sates. Which unable for me to do that.
For example, i want: hidden link currency in USD hidden link currency in GBP.
i have tried adding language English for united kingdom under WPML> Languages section using en_gb code. It seems working. But i have to duplicate the English content to English (United Kingdom) to make contents show up at website front end correctly, in this way, i can not use the automatic translate by WPML also as it is the same language. Which I think it is unrealistic also.
May i have your help on it please? Thanks
Symptoms:
I am unable to show different currencies for the United States and the United Kingdom because they are the same languge. If adding different language code, need to duplicate the English content. need better way
Questions:
When my store default show USD currency in Unisted States. How can I configure WPML to show GBP for the United Kingdom without duplicating content
What to do while having different currencies for the same language?

Hello,
If your site's default language is English, you can go to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and set posts and pages to "Translatable or fallback to default language if a translation does not exist".
This way the UK content will display the original US content without the need to create an translations or duplicates for UK.
Downside: It will display the US content for any language that is missing a translation for a specific page or post.
It should be possible to use DeepL or other engines to translate from en_us to en_gb but it might be that this is something that WPML does not cover yet. I can offer to consult the ATE Team about any plans to implement such a feature and then get back to you.
About the currencies:
Please go to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency and open the Currency tab. Here you can set a default currency for each language if you use the setting to display the currency by site's language.
Thank you!
It works perfect for me via using the configuration. WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and set posts and pages to "Translatable or fallback to default language if a translation does not exist".
After done, products show up correctly with ?lang=en_gb parameter at the end of url, this is what i want . But i notice that on website footer it is not, it jumps to default languge page.
you can check this url: hidden link
and if you move to footer and click Terms&Conditions, the URL is hidden link Which suppose to be hidden link
The problems not happens in other translated languages like France,Germany. But only happens on English-United Kingdom, and English_Canada which the same language which website default language.

Yes After using a footer template, it works for united kingdom.
But there is another issue coming up.
When i make change to the default English footer template, the French,German,Romania language footer follow the changing automatically also. But not the Dutch. As you can see from the screenshot bellow, the footer of Dutch language is different with others.
Languages: English (English )Spanish (Español )German (Deutsch )
Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)
I went to Avada > Layouts, set the admin language to "All languages" an clicked save.
This will make sure that the display conditions will be saved in all languages and I can currently see translated footers in each language which has a translated footer template.
Can you please confirm if this solves the issue for you?
The issue persist. If you check the footer of netherland language, it only has four columns, which other language has 5 columns. And if we make a change on the default language (English) footer, the footer of Netherland language not synch the change.
Also i notice that on the header menu,The frence,netherland,romanian language product secondary menu dropdown layout style do not sync the design of English. as you can see the screenshot: hidden link it drow down vertically, which should be Horizontally as English language drow down style

Hi,
I already did this yesterday for the Dutch Footer and it solved the issue, as you can see on the screenshot. There is only one section that I simply have not translated completely yet.
You need to go to WPML > String Translation, select the text domain "Widgets" and make sure that all strings are translated.
Yes it works. i see that the header product menu drogdown style of Netherland, France, Romanian do not sync the design of English. as you can see the screenshot: Enlish version: hidden link
In Netherland/France/Romanian version: hidden link
Why this happens and how to solve this issue please? Thanks!
