estherG-9	Context: We are an art gallery with an online store. Woocommerce integration (managing products) -> We sell our artist artworks online. Due to the nature of those being unique items, we manually add and delete products very often. While managing the online store I realised that if you delete a product in the original language, the translation is not deleted. We did not realise this for a while and it had caused some confusion with our customer. Of course we can manually delete products in both language, but it double the amount of manipulations necessary and have the potential to create more mistake through human error. I saw a support ticket about this dating from 2022 and the answer suggested to make a request for it, so i'm requesting it in case it hasn't been since then. Feature request: making it so that when you delete a product in your original language, it get deleted in all translation. If this is already something you are working on, well I am looking forward to it!
