Problem: You want to add a different shipping class in translated products on your WooCommerce site, but the shipping class field is locked. Solution: In WooCommerce when integrated with WPML, product details including shipping classes are synchronized across translations. To have different shipping classes, you would need to create independent products for each language instead of translating them. Although there is an option to unlock specific fields at WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation, we do not recommend altering these settings as it could lead to unexpected issues with how WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency functions.

Problem: The client's site is built with Elementor and the Woodmart theme. They have translated the attributes using WPML, but the filters are not showing in the translated language on the product category pages. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps: 1. Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Advanced. 2. Ensure that the option Enable table usage is disabled. This setting can prevent the attribute table from populating correctly in the secondary language. 3. Save the changes. 4. Clear the caches from your site and browser, then check if the filters appear in the translated language.

Solution: We recommend translating the product content first. Then, to hide the price and 'add to cart' button in the English version, you can add custom CSS.
