[Closed] Translate via API

Hello markH-6,

Welcome to WPML support. I'd like to help you further on this issue.

Are you following the steps as mentioned here?
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/using-wordpress-rest-api-woocommerce-multilingual/

Further, We recently released a new version of WPML plugins so can you please update the plugins to the latest version and let me know if that helps.

We push out WPML releases gradually. If your sites haven’t received this update yet, give it some time and you’ll see the update in a few days.

To skip the queue and get the update right away, to the Plugins → Add New page, click the Commercial tab and then click the Check for updates button.

Look forward to your reply.

Hello there,

For global attributes, it's only possible to translate the labels and you can do this using UI, I don't think it's possible to use rest API to translate just the labels for now.

In terms of attributes, you can follow the steps as mentioned here:

To create in default language
Postman URL: hidden link
Body Json

{
    "name": "Small",
    "slug": "small",
    "description": "Small size",
    "menu_order": 1,
}

To create in secondary language
Postman URL: hidden link
Body Json

{
    "name": "Small-fr1",
    "slug": "small-fr1",
    "description": "Small size",
    "menu_order": 1,
    "translation_of": 25,
    "lang": "fr"
}

Two parameters are supported when creating a term:

lang – the respective lang value will be set for the term. If omitted, the default language of the site will be used.
translation_of (optional) – the term will be created as a translation of an existing term, having the id provided by the value of translation_of. If translation_of is omitted, the term is created as part of a new translation group (trid)

As mentioned in my previous reply, global attributes doesn't needs to be translated, you can only translate the labels of it and it's not possible with rest api.

Hello there,

On the provided examples URLS: hidden link

1 is the attribute ID, so to add terms for it you need to use the above, URL and the same for adding translations.

Let me know if this helps.

Hello there,

- You can create attributes from the API
- Attributes don't need translations, they have labels and this needs to be translated manually
- You can create terms for that attributes from API.
- You can create terms translations for that attributes from API.

Let me know if this is clear now.

Thanks

Hello there,

Please provide more details regarding it, like the following:
- Postman URL
- JSON
- What type of authorization are you using
- Can you create an attribute without WPML?

Look forward to your reply.

Hello there,

To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me with those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
