Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the translation of product variation colors in the WooCommerce backend, which is affecting the functionality of the Product Pre-Orders for Woocommerce plugin. The colors are not translated in the backend, causing pre-order functionality to fail for out-of-stock products with variations.
Solution: We have identified that the Product Pre-Orders for Woocommerce plugin is not officially compatible with WPML. We recommend the following steps: 1. Report the compatibility issue to the plugin author and invite them to join our Go Global program to help make the plugin officially compatible. You can find more information here: Go Global program. 2. As a workaround, you can: - Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom fields. - Show system fields and set the following fields to copy:
_-_ywpo_preorder
_-_all fields starting with _wpro
_-_wpro_variable_is_preorder
- Manually edit the product in the second language, enable the pre-order checkbox, and add the correct data.
Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket: WPML support forum.
