Problem: The client wants to disable the WPML line-by-line (sentence) translator for products while keeping the rest of the site using the automatic translator. Additionally, the client inquires about changing a phrase in products that is repeated across all products simultaneously. Solution: We explained that it is not possible to use the "Classic Translation Editor" exclusively for products, as activating any Translation Editor applies it as the default for all post types. However, for product translations, the client can join multiple segments into a single paragraph in the Advanced Translation Editor by clicking the linking icon between segments.
For more details, we provided documentation on joining sentences:
Regarding the bulk change of a phrase across multiple products, we clarified that this is not feasible with the default WooCommerce Bulk Editor, as it does not support bulk updates for Product descriptions or Short descriptions. We suggested using a Bulk Editor plugin compatible with WPML and provided a link to find a suitable plugin: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/bulk-edit/
