Background of the issue:
I have a multilingual WooCommerce website using WPML. I also use a Woocommerce bundled products plugin. The plugin works fine in the original language, but issues arise when adding products in German.

Symptoms:
When I add a product in German and update it, the bundled product disappears. This issue started occurring after recent updates.

Questions:
Why do bundled products disappear when updating in German?
Is there a known issue with WPML and bundled products?
Do I need to add XML to fix this issue?

The bundled products should be copied from the original. Did you ever change the default language?

No, I have never. changed it. Bundled products were never copied from original language. I had to add them manually and that worked. Since the update (i think) I can't even do that....

If you use the WPML editor to translate them do you still have the issue?

If I provide you with a Sandbox, would you be willing to install WooCommerce Product Bundles and try to reproduce the issue?

Thanks, here you go: hidden link

WPML is already installed, you just need to configure it like it is on your site.

hey.

i found that _wc_pb_aggregate_weight, _wc_pb_bundled_items_stock_sync_status, _wc_pb_sold_individually_context, _wc_pb_virtual_bundle custom fields were set to don't translate. I set them to copy now and it works. this must have automatically happen with the latest update because before that it was working ok.

anyway, is there a trick that lets me update all the procucts at once? I hate to make a minor chanhe to an original product then update translation for each language... it takes too much time.

I have some other issue here, where custom tab (youtube video) is not translated. I can copy the field ok, when I save it it looks ok, but when I referesh the page it goes missing.

here is a screencast

If you use automatic translation, just resend everything to translation and it will be fixed.

Otherwise, you can try a bulk update feature or with plugin. You first bulk update the original products, and then switch languages and bulk update again.

About the YouTube issue, since it's a different problem I'll split the ticket and we can continue there.
