Problem: The client is trying to synchronize WooCommerce product variations with the active WPML language on their development site. Specifically, they want the default product variation to automatically switch to match the WPML language when the site language is changed. Solution: We have evaluated the possibility of setting different default WooCommerce variation values per language. However, we decided not to implement this feature. The reason is that WPML's current logic ensures consistent synchronization of product data across translations. Supporting localized default variations would require significant changes to this logic, and our translation model focuses on translating—not localizing—product structure. Therefore, this feature falls outside our current scope.
If this solution does not address your issue or seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also 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.
