Background of the issue:
I am trying to use a coupon on my multilingual site, but it only works on the English version. I found that the brand category is not selected in French. When I select the brand in French, it disappears in English, and vice versa. The theme owner suggested I contact you. The issue can be seen at hidden link.

Symptoms:
The coupon for BRANDS only works on the English version of the site. Selecting the brand category in one language causes it to disappear in the other language.

Questions:
How can I make the coupon work for both French and English versions of the site?
Why does selecting the brand category in one language cause it to disappear in the other?

Thank you very much for sharing the video.

The cause of the issue was the brand restriction, which wasn't translated. I changed the Coupon configuration in WPML -> Settings -> Post type translation. Then I translated the ccc15 coupon and now it is working on both languages.

Can you confirm that the issue was solved following the steps I described?

Hello Carlos, the coupon is working English and French but now the amount is always giving me 0 instead of 15%. Please check the screenshot

Hi there,
Thank you for your message

I have recorded a video showing how to disable the Translation Editor for the coupons, and after manual translation, the coupon is working in French. You can watch the video here: hidden link

Hello Carlos, i still have the same with different coupon

September 11, 2025 at 3:58 am #17392515

davidB-47

There is a conflict with the coupon code. The site does not allow the same coupon code to be used for both French and English. The issue is still occurring, as the previous response did not resolve the problem. Currently, the French translation of the coupon works, but only with a different code.
