Our wait time is higher than usual, please make sure you are meeting the minimum requirement - https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements before you report issues, and if you can take a look at current Known Issues - https://wpml.org/known-issues/. Thank you.
No way, I don't want to remove existing products and recreate them.
I'll probably just translate the content with your plugin integrations (deepl/AI).
So here's a new problem: when I translate my products with semi-automatic translation, the product in the original language loses all its variations. See attached screenshot.
This product had over a hundred variations (it's a carpet with many sizes available).
Are you able to reproduce this behavior if you create a new test product?
For example create a test product and assign 4 variations to it, add the translation and publish.
---> what are your results?
I wonder if this is happening only for the imported products due to some sort of miscommunication in the database and the translation prompts a new database entry.
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.
I’ve changed the WPML URL format to "Language name added as a parameter". Using different domains per language won’t work reliably in the staging environment, as the secondary domain currently redirects to the default URL.
If you navigate to WooCommerce → WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML) → Status, you’ll see configuration warnings, including:
“Some settings from the WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency wpml-config.xml file have been overwritten.”
Custom type product_variation configuration from wpml-config.xml file was altered!
When reviewing the configuration on a fresh installation, you’ll notice that many WooCommerce-related settings are locked under WPML → Settings. These locks are intentional—they help prevent conflicts and unintended plugin behavior.
Please go to WPML → Settings → Post Types Translation and set the following to “Translatable – only show translated items”:
product_variation
Patterns (wp_block)
Templates (wp_template)
Template Parts (wp_template_part)
I’ve prepared a clean environment for reference. You can log in using the link below to compare settings. Any option with a "lock" icon should not be changed, as doing so may lead to unexpected issues.
Oh man, changing these parameters, I tried to get rid of useless translations. Thanks for your help, it worked.
Check attached screenshots, how to get rid of these? I don't want them to be translated. That's why I disabled product variation for translation. These data are not even displayed on the original website and it sucks out all the translation credits for nothing.
Also, the translation page is trying to also the product categories very often. It leads to broken html structure and again on my category descriptions and again, huge credit consumption.
