After updating the variation description, we are not able to edit or update the translation. The old description shows even after deleting the description completely from the original product and the product translation.
Hi. Please switch to "Advanced Translation Editor". Then make descriptions of product variations empty. After update, translated page of that product shows old description, but It shouldn't have a description at all.
Okkk - I see the issue. This happens when you remove a string (e.g. set it to null/empty) resulting in that string being no longer available to be able to "blank" out the translated value.
The only way I can see this working for you now is to use the native WordPress editor on the translated product.
I think this is easy to replicate and I will be attempting to do so to escalate this as a bug.
But could you please confirm that you understand the "workaround" that I am proposing to you? As you will see right now, the DE variation descriptions are blank because I went into the translated product using the native WordPress editor and erased the variaton description manually.
1. You asked: "..What about translations? Will It be possible to return to ATE later for these products? How?"
Removing the variable content from translated products manually shold not affect your ability to use the ATE later. If you have any doubts, use one of the existing products to test the process and any possible use cases.
2. How long do think It will take to fix this bug?
I need to escalate this and our 2nd tier support group will then consult with our development team on the gravity of the issue. I do not have any influence or visiblity on the development prioritisation.
For now - can you please indicate that the workaround is something you can do so that I can then escalate the issue?
