Hello, Ive have successfully translated most of the site from English to Dutch, however I can seem to get the subscription products to show at all on the translated version?
The site is running WooCommerce Subscriptions and All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions. The Subscription options show up on the english version but not the dutch translated version? Ive attached two screenshots to help show you what I mean.

Hello,
The issue might be related to a specific custom field setting at WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation. Revise the available fields related to product subscription.
Set any settings or numeric fields to "Copy" and set fields that require text translation to "Translate".
Thanks for your speedy reply I didn't see that you have replied already.
Ive attached the debug info above.
I have looked through the Custom Field Translation but im not really too sure what im looking for.
also your final point of 'After that, update the product's translation.'
Is there a way of doing that without replacing the already translated text for the products that had been checked?

Thank you for your cooperation!
The settings look fine. It might be better if I take a closer look at this.
I'd like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further.
You'll find the necessary fields below the comment section if you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide will be private, meaning only you and I will be able to see and access it.
IMPORTANT
Please be sure to create a backup of the website and database before granting us access.
If you don't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your login credentials for the post and website will be set to "PUBLIC." Do NOT publish the information unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.
I may need to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to create a copy of the website on which I can investigate the problem more thoroughly.
I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site on your server for this purpose.
If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, please contact your hosting provider. Please ensure that WPML is also registered on this staging site at https://wpml.org/de/account/websites/.
If you are unable to provide such a copy of the website for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

The problem is the translation of at least one string:
"All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions require at least PHP %1$s. Learn how to update PHP"
It is translated to:
Voor alle producten in WooCommerce-abonnementen is minimaal PHP %1$s vereist. Leer hoe u PHP kunt bijwerken .
Using %2%24s inside the translation is invalid and causes an error. Those placeholders need to be identical in all languages.
This seems to have occurred on all href attributes for anchor elements, like:
<a href="%1$s">#%2$s</a>
translated into:
<a href="%1%24s">#%2$s</a>
It seems that this occurred when translating those strings automatically using the Google Translation Engine on the 17th of January.
Do you think that this issue might have occurred while translating those strings with automatic translation?
Would you mind if I test on your site if this issue is replicable? I would give some credits for testing to our account in this case.
Now, I have already tried to manually fix dozens of such translations, but once I search on String Translation for "%1$s" I get about 1300 results. It is impossible for me to verify all those strings.
Do you mind if I enable WP DEBUG on the site to get a better idea of which strings might be affected?
"All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions require at least PHP %1$s. Learn how to update PHP"
Sounds like its a translation from the back end of the website, somewhere within the admin areas. As far as I'm concerned this does not need to be translated and can stay in english. Would this make it easier if we kept this in English?
When you talk about testing and enabling WP DEBUG is this on the /dev version or live site?
Happy for you to do whatever you like on the /dev version.

I am currently working on the dev site.
Let me try to figure out how many affected strings there are; it actually makes sense to translate them. You would only need to translate backend strings if you plan to offer different admin languages for your admin users.
Further, I will run some tests and see if I can replicate this issue with Google Translate.
