Problem: You are trying to display product categories in your shop using a specific code, but after a recent update, the category slugs are not switching languages correctly. The issue results in the category slug showing as /product-category/(category) instead of using the language-appropriate slug. Solution: We identified that the slug for the product categories had been translated, but the singular and plural names were not. We added those missing translations for completeness. After saving, the "View" links should now correctly use the translated slug. You should translate these on this page.

Problem: The client has a multilingual WooCommerce site and needs to use different SKUs for products translated into Latvian, without losing the language switcher functionality. The client also inquired about managing SKUs in different languages using WPML. Solution: We explained that in WPML, product translations must share the same SKU to sync stock and prices effectively across different languages. To use different SKUs, the client would need to create separate, original products for each language, which would not be linked as translations and thus would not support the default language switcher functionality. However, the client can create a custom language switcher or button that links to the respective products in different languages. We also provided links to documentation for further customization using hooks:
