Next priorty is the Woocommerce product category descriptions translations not keeping there HTML formatting. It keeps strong tags only. But looses h1, h2, h3, ul, ol, li tags.
I have just found that by default WooCommerce filters HTML tags but the original developer enabled Yoast SEO plugin which, I now understand actually enables a WYSWYG editor for the category descriptions.
I have created a new dev site with basic WPML and yoast and was able to translate category descriptions with HTML formatting but I added a snippet from Woocommerce which removes the filtering. hidden link
Removing this snippet the translate category descriptions loose formatting.
Well I tried that but the category descriptions I have checked so far are not showing in string translations. I have deleted all the German categories as per other forum posts https://wpml.org/forums/topic/automatic-translation-of-woocommerce-productcategories/ But not they will not recreate. I have tried creating a new dummy product and assigning to all categories and translating but this hasn't worked.
Since the filtering is custom code provided by WooCommerce, it's likely not working when paired with WPML.
You said you recreate the issue, please provide me the credentials or a copy of this site and I'll send it to the devs but I'm not sure we can fix it because it could involve modifying WooCommerce's code somewhere else and it's not something we should do.
To clarify I have now added the code from Woo and that seemed to work on the new test site. I have now also added to the live site but need to force WPML to recreate the German categories. Please ensure you read all comments between your last as you seem to have skipped these.
However, they are already translated (from your message it seemed there were not translated) so I'm not sure what do you mean with "they're not recreated".
