Problem: The client is trying to manually translate a WooCommerce product into another language and modify fields like the product name and short description. Despite unlocking these fields in WPML settings, they still appear locked with a message stating, 'This field is locked for editing because WPML will copy its value from the original language.' Solution: The fields that remain locked are managed by the 'WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency' addon. These locks are essential for maintaining synchronization of price, stock, and other settings between the original products and their translations. We recommend not altering these settings. If the client requires products with different settings in various languages, it is advisable to create original products in those languages rather than translating them.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
