Problem: You are developing a site and using the WooCommerce API to import categories, attributes, and products. However, you've encountered an issue where attributes can't be translated over the API, and attributes created through the API are monolingual, making their terms untranslatable. You are looking for a way to translate attribute names using a PHP script. Solution: Currently, it is not possible to translate attribute names through the API. You can create attributes using this guide, but to translate the attribute names, you must do it manually. Go to "WooCommerce → WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency", under the Attributes tab, scroll down to the "Translations of taxonomy labels and slugs" section and add the translations there. Although this may not be the ideal solution, it is the only method available at this time. We are aware of this limitation and are hoping to include support for translating attribute labels and names in future versions of WCML.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with syncing product gallery images across different languages on their WooCommerce site. The main language displays all images, but the translated languages do not. Additionally, categories and filters are missing on the shop page in English and Spanish.
Solution: First, ensure that the correct options are selected in the WooCommerce product settings before translating the product. If the gallery images still do not appear in translations, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to "WPML > Settings" and scroll down to the "Media Translation" section. 2. Click the 'Start' button, ensuring the options shown in the provided screenshot are selected. If the issue persists, check if the translation preference for the field storing the Gallery images is set to "Don't Translate". Change this setting to "Copy" and save the product without making any changes. This should resolve the issue. For any products where the gallery still isn't visible, open the default product and save it without making any changes. Alternatively, use the "Quick Edit" option under the product name where the gallery is not showing, and save without modifying anything.

Problem: If you're managing a multilingual website and have added Dutch as a new language, but WPML is not using the WooCommerce and theme translation packages for Dutch, even though these packages are present. Solution: We are aware of this issue and will hadle it in the next release.
Problem: You are trying to cache translated posts but are unable to do so because of the _lsvary cookie, which affects caching behavior on your site. Solution: Currently, there is no update from the plugin authors regarding a solution to avoid the _lsvary cookie when caching translated posts. We previously reached out to the authors, and they are aware of the issue but have not provided a definitive solution yet.
We recommend contacting the plugin authors directly for the most recent updates on this issue.
The code below, provided by the client, eliminates the need to vary the cache based on currency. However, this approach is only suitable when a single currency is used per (sub)domain or URL. Please note that this code is untested and provided as-is, as it was not created by our team. We strongly recommend testing it thoroughly in a staging environment before implementation.
add_filter('litespeed_vary', 'unset_litespeed_wcml_vary_cookie', 99);
function unset_litespeed_wcml_vary_cookie($vary_list){
if (isset($vary_list['wcml_currency'])){
unset($vary_list['wcml_currency']);
}
return $vary_list;
}

Select "Sync products variations" and click on Start. 3. Edit the product in the original Spanish language, make a small change to the description, and then update the translation product.

Problem: You want to translate bank account details in WooCommerce to Croatian using WPML, but you only have one bank account and need to disable the second one. Solution: Since WooCommerce Multilingual translates content on a 1:1 basis, here are a few approaches you can consider: 1) Implement custom code to handle different bank accounts based on the language. 2) Translate all content, using placeholders (e.g., empty spaces) for fields that should remain empty. 3) Use CSS to hide specific sections for a particular language. Note that WooCommerce might use the same class names for both sets of bank details, which may require additional customization to target them properly. Alternatively, you can use a regular space or an ASCII whitespace character to make the second bank account details "invisible". You can find various ASCII whitespace symbols here.

Problem: You are trying to manually translate WooCommerce products using WPML, but the translation options are missing in the product overview and individual product pages. You have confirmed that Product Translation is enabled in WPML settings, but you cannot update WPML plugins, and navigating to WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual only shows the setup wizard. Solution: First, ensure that the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin is installed and set up correctly, as this is necessary for translating products and their data. Complete the WooCommerce Multilingual setup by following the wizard. If the translation options are still missing after setup, try the following steps: 1. Clear the cache on your site and your browser. 2. Flush the permalink structure by navigating to Settings > Permalinks and saving the settings. 3. Check again if the translation options appear under "WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Products".
