Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate attributes from French to English. My first language is French, and it is translated into English. I want to translate attributes, but they are not correctly set up.

Symptoms:
The attributes are set in English, and I can only edit the French translation. I expected to see a French flag in front of my attribute and have the possibility to edit English. Instead, English is not translatable, and French words are inside the English. Only French is translatable, but I don't need to translate it because it's my main language.

Questions:
Why are the attributes not correctly set up for translation?
How can I make English translatable instead of French?

Hi,

Welcome to WPML support. For the slug which is the last option in the screenshot you shared, you can simply hover over the slug and click the link called "Modifier la lange" and change the language to French.

Also, you should verify the product base slug and product category base slug inside the WooCommerce Permalink Settings page and set the source languages accordingly.

But I need to check for the other attributes you mentioned. May I have an example that the English flag is showing but the content is French?

I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.

Make sure you set the next reply as private.

Thanks.
