contents in prodcut archive page and product single page can't be translated

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to translate strings on the product archive page and product single page in WooCommerce using WPML. After updating the French content on the product archive page created by Elementor and creating a new product single page, the translated English content does not display.
Solution:
We discovered that some database records were blocking the proper communication between your site and the ATE's servers. To resolve this, we recommend running the following SQL queries on your database:

delete from wp_options where option_name = 'wpml.ate_sync.lock.key';
delete from wp_options where option_name = 'wpml.ate_sync.lock';

Please ensure to make a full backup of your site before applying these changes. If the issue persists after applying this fix, it might be due to other reasons or the solution might be outdated.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. If this does not resolve your issue, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hello there, I followed the steps to try to fix the issue: - Go to WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page and press the below buttons: - Clear the cache in WPML - [Products] Synchronize posts taxonomies - Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs - Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE - Assign translation status to duplicated content - Set language information - Go to WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page and press the below buttons: - Clear the cache in WPML - [Products] Synchronize posts taxonomies - Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs - Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE - Assign translation status to duplicated content - Set language information Also, the WP memory limit needed to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress was using 40Mb. The minimum requirements for WPML are 128 MB. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/) I increased it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file right before the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. / line: / Memory Limit */ define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); After taking those steps I can see the products fully translated now, please check the screenshot for reference. Can you please review it and confirm that it is fixed now? Best, Mateus

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hi there, I tried checking the specific product you shared as an example and it looks like there's no English translation available for it yet, please check the screenshot. I looked for a few other examples but so far I couldn't reproduce the issue. Can you please review it? Thank you. Mateus

jing-yingM	Hi I restet the configuration of "Custom Fields Translation "and the status changed below. Because I created new atrributes (product colour& product style) in last week and didn't update the"Custom Fields Translation ". "Updating affected posts for changes in translatable fields _default_attributes, attribute_pa_package, attribute_pa_colour, attribute_pa_style, _wp_attachment_context. 0 / 172 0%" "Updating affected posts for changes in translatable fields _elementor_template_widget_type. 0 / 337 0%" I have waited for long time ,but the progress is still 0%. Is it related with the issue above? Thank you

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	Hello there, I checked it and the last issue you reported is a known issue where some duplicated queries get added to the table icl_background_task. It is being investigated to be fixed in definitive, meanwhile I applied the workaround available in here and this specific issue has been fixed: https://wpml.org/errata/wpml-causing-backend-slowness-and-duplicated-queries/ Regarding the issue with the product, while I was able to add the translation and save it, like you mentioned, I did notice that the translation was already loaded indicating it was already translated before despite the + icon. On top of that if I edit the main language product and switch to English it doesn't load the English product but rather an empty product. It is also no creating the package for that product within WPML > Packages. There's something strange going on that I need to check. I enabled the debug mode but it didn't generate any errors. Is it possible to reach out to the hosting provider support and ask them to share today's error logs(October 10th), you can add it to the server and tell me the location or share it with me using a text sharing service such as pastebin.com or a file sharing service such as dropbox or Google drive. Also, are you able to create a staging site where I can debug this freely without affecting the live site? I enabled private fields for your next reply so that you can share it with me. Thank you, please let us know. Mateus

I asked my colleagues to have a look at this issue in order to see if there's anything I'm missing. I'll come back here as soon as one of my colleagues reply back to me (which it shouldn't take long). Thanks,

jing-yingM	Hi Ok, I understand. This issue is very urgent and it has disturbed the sale promotion schedule of my woocommerce store because the product page can't be launched. How much longer do you need to investigate? Thank you

Mateus Getulio Supporter Languages: English (English ) Portuguese (Brazil) (Português ) Timezone: America/Sao_Paulo (GMT-03:00)	While we can't give you an ETA of when we'll find a definitive fix, I have a workaround I can offer you in the meantime. We noticed that by exporting the XLIFF of the product, translating it and importing it back, the product gets fully translated: - Go to WPML -> Translation Management - Search for your product and send it for Translation - Go to WPML > Translations, locate the product and select it - Click on export to XLIFF 1.2 - Open the XLIFF using an editor and translate it - Still on the WPML > Translations screen at the bottom of the page import the file Please check this documentation for more information: Manually Downloading XLIFF Files Using Desktop CAT Tools with WPML I understand this solution isn't optimal, but it a temporary workaround we can offer just until we're working hard to fix this for good. We thank you for your understanding.

jing-yingM	Hi Thanks for your response. I have updated the English version by following your resolution above. I think it takes too long time to download and manually translated the xliff file . So , Please continue to help me investigate this issue and keep update with me . Thank you
