Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate products in my e-commerce store using WPML. The site I need help with is hidden link. I have customized variants for products, such as spray cans with finishes and other customizations.

Symptoms:
When products are translated, the variants are not selectable, making the products unpurchasable. In the original Italian version, variants can be selected and purchased, but in the translated English version, the variants are not visible.

Questions:
How can I make the translated product variants selectable?
Is there a specific setting in WPML that I need to adjust for custom variants?

Hello,

1) In order to expedite handling your support requests, can you please share WPML support debug information from your site.

- To give debug information, login to your site and go to WPML → Support. From there click on the “debug information” link at the bottom of the page.
- Once on the “debug information” page, select the entire content of the text box and copy it.
- Now go back to our support forum, find debug information box and paste it.

More information on the link: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

2) Make sure you using WooCommerce Multilingual and have translated attributes to 2nd language from WooCommerce Multilingual > Attributes

https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/

3) At the bottom of the page from WooCommerce Multilingual > Attributes click the button that synchronizes variations across products.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,

have you added this attribute as global from Product > Attributes or as local attribute from that product screen?

If as local, please add it as global attribute, go to Product > Attributes create your new attribute and variations. Translate them from Wocommerce Multignual. Go to your default language product and add your new global attribute that you just created. Save and translate product.

Let me know how it goes.

Drazen
