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

Problem:
The client is using Woocommerce Memberships and has set this custom post type to be translatable. As a result, instead of having 5 memberships, the client ended up with 25 memberships due to the 5 different languages. The client needs only 5 memberships with translated names, not separate memberships for each language.

Solution:
We have reviewed the issue and concluded that it is not possible to translate only the title of a custom post type while keeping the rest untranslated. When you set a post type as translatable, it affects the entire post type (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-posts/).
A custom solution is required for the client's specific needs, which is beyond the scope of our support forum. We recommend contacting WPML Contractors for a custom approach (https://wpml.org/contractors/).

We also highly recommend checking related known issues (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.

I am using Woocommerce Memberships and set this custom post type to translation. Now I have not 5 memberships, but with 5 languages 25 membrships. But I am using memberships for content restriction and have automator rules. So I need only 5 memberships and only translated names, not memberships. How can I do this?

Hi,

Thank you for waiting on this. I've discussed with my team and looks like it isn't possible to just translate the title while setting rest of the post type untranslated.

In short, as I mentioned earlier in the chat, you can set a post type as translatable or not and it affects the whole post type (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-custom-posts/).

In your case, you may need custom approach to deal with this, which is unfortunately is out of scope of this forum. Should you need custom solution, we recommend you contact WPML Contractors at https://wpml.org/contractors/.

Regards.

Hi,
OK, I understand, so for now I set it to not translatable and use the memberships with English names, otherwise things going to be too complicate.
Thanks, kind regards
Eric
