If you're using WPML with WooCommerce and WooCommerce Bookings and are experiencing issues with duplicate booking entries in your event calendar whenever a customer places an order, despite having disabled translation of Bookings (wc_booking) in WPML Settings -> Post Types Translation.
Solution:
We recommend following these steps: 1) Create a simple Booking Product for testing. 2) Duplicate it into a secondary language. 3) Make a booking and check if the issue still occurs.

Problem: The client reported issues with their multilingual WooCommerce site using WPML. Specifically, the Romanian shop page was displaying products but not the sidebar, the English shop page was showing the sidebar but not the products, and a Romanian product page was not displaying the sale price, only the regular price. Solution: We recommended the client to first clear any caches on their site, as caching can often cause display issues like these. Next, we advised checking the WPML language configuration settings to ensure that the shop pages are correctly linked and translated in both languages. For the issue with the product pricing, we suggested verifying the WooCommerce multilingual settings for currency and price synchronization between languages. If these steps do not resolve the issues, or if the solution becomes outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.

Problem: If you set English as your primary language and Bulgarian as your second, then completely remove Bulgarian, you are concerned that this will also delete associated images, leaving English products without pictures. Solution: Changing your site's default language to English will not affect the default language of your products, and images will still appear if the products are created in English. However, since Bulgarian was the default language for many posts, products, and other custom post types, you should take the following steps to properly remove Bulgarian content without affecting English content: 1. Temporarily reactivate the Bulgarian language. 2. Navigate to Posts, switch to Bulgarian, select the posts, and delete them. 3. Clear the trash. 4. Repeat the process for other post types like Products, Pages, and Templates. You can find detailed instructions here: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-delete-the-translation-of-a-page/ Additionally, ensure to back up your site before making any changes. We also canceled automatic translation jobs that might have been stuck due to content originally being in Bulgarian.
