Problem: You have hundreds of WooCommerce products in Spanish that you want to update the translations into French in bulk, for specific words. The manual translation using CTE does not support glossary. You are looking for a way to customize the 'Duplicate' method or insert a new method into the dropdown list for processing and publishing translations with specific text string replacements.
Solution: Unfortunately, customizing the 'Duplicate' method or inserting a new method directly via WPML is not possible out of the box. However, you can use the WPML's Coding API to achieve your goal. First, identify the Post IDs of the translations using the
wpml_get_element_translations
hook available at this link. Then, you can run a custom script to modify the content of these posts accordingly. It's important to note that support for custom coding is beyond the scope of our forum, and we strongly recommend testing any custom solutions on a development or staging site first.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if further assistance is needed. You can do so at WPML support forum.
