Solution:
We recommended the following steps to resolve the issue:

3. Click on “Show system fields”.
4. Search for the “Stock” field.
5. Set the following fields to “Copy”:
-

-

6. Open the default language product in edit mode and click “Update” to apply the settings to its translations.
For other existing products, simply re-save them, and the stock should sync without issues.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to give our customers information on how many items are available. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link

Symptoms:
Available stock is not showing in alternative languages. I expected to see 1 item in stock, but instead, I got nothing.

Questions:
Why is the available stock not showing in alternative languages?
How can I ensure the stock information is displayed correctly in all languages?

I followed these steps:

1. Went to WPML >> Settings.
2. Scrolled down to the “Custom Fields Translation” section.
3. Clicked on “Show system fields”.
4. Searched for the “Stock” field.
5. Set the following fields to “Copy”:
- _manage_stock
- _order_stock_reduced
- _stock_status
6. Opened the default language product in edit mode and clicked “Update” to apply the settings to its translations.

Now, the stock quantity appears correctly in the secondary language: hidden link

For other existing products, just re-save them, and the stock should sync without issues.

Could you please check and confirm?

Thank you for your cooperation
