Background of the issue:
In a local test website using WordPress and WooCommerce with languages IT and EN, I initially inserted product prices without tax management. A product priced at €100 + VAT 22% was displayed as €122. After activating tax management and using a bulk update plugin, prices were adjusted so that enabling 22% tax displayed the correct frontend prices. Products are translated through the WP Editor, not the WPML editor, due to custom fields.
Symptoms:
In the second language (EN), most prices were misaligned after activating tax management: IT €100,00 - EN €100,01; IT €100,00 - EN €101,01; IT €100,00 - EN €122,01 (double tax calculation).
Questions:
Why did the price misalignment happen in the second language after activating tax management?
Is there a quicker solution to resolve the price misalignment issue?
In this case, I would recommend following these steps:
- Create a full site backup
- Go to Woocommerce -> Woocommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency -> Settings tab -> Troubleshooting link (bottom right) -> Select all options and click on the 'Start' button
- Wait for the process to finish and double-check if the issue disappeared.
Could you tell me the results of the steps described above?
Shall I apply your suggestion even if I already re-saved all translations, which realigned prices?
Actually, I see that some items show "0" results, and others show up to 3387 items to synchronize.
Is it advisable that all results are "0"?
Thank you.

I recommend creating a full site backup before running this process because it will adjust the information of the products directly on the database. So, if something goes wrong you can restore the copy of the site.
After running the process all results will be 0, but when you refresh again you will see the numbers back because the numbers indicate the products that will be affected, not the one remaining 🙂
I have just found out that if a price in the first language (IT) is modified, the second language (EN) still displays a minor difference (one or more Eurocents).
Is this something which can be avoided? Otherwise each time a price is adjusted in Italian, the english translation must be re-saved.
Oh, really?
And what if I have a website with 4 languages or more... must each language be updated separately?
This is nearly unmanageable.
And is the cause of it just the activation of prices without taxes?
Thank you.
Yes, every time a change is made to the content in the original language, the translated content must be updated in order to get that change. To avoid manually updating the content every time, you can activate the automatic translation and WPML will take care of it automatically: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/
