The client is unable to find a bulk option to update translations for all products on their site after a recent update. They previously used a pencil icon for confirmation but now need to update translations in bulk for about 2500 products in 5 languages. Additionally, an ACF custom field set to 'Don't Translate' is causing issues by requiring updates across all languages.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps:
1. Ensure that the translation preference for the ACF custom field is set to 'Don't Translate'.
2. If updating translations in bulk is necessary and the standard bulk option is not working, you may need to deactivate the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin temporarily. This allows updating products in batches (20, 50, or 100 at a time).
3. Always ensure to perform a full site backup before making bulk updates to prevent data loss.

We highly recommend opening a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.
