# Products not shown in woocommerce categories

 * I thought woocommerce is supported because the translation of the products works
   well.
 * I have translated all the 300 products and translated the woocommerce categories
   by hand.
 * The products have now the right translated category, but in the front end when
   I select the category, they are not shown.
 * The only way to show them that I have found is to open the product, de-click 
   the category, click again and save. In this way it works, but because I have 
   5 language it is difficult to do by hand for all: with a bulk action doesn’t 
   work.
 * I thought that I have the problem because I have translated the category after
   the products, but not, also if I translate the categories before it doesn’t work.
 * Many thanks for your help.

 * This is a setting that you need to enable inside of Polylang. If you go to the
   Polylang settings at the bottom of the page you will see a **Synchronization**
   option. Make sure that the _Taxonomies_ option is checked and then _Save Changes._
   You also need to make sure that your Categories are translated before you send
   your Products to Lingotek for translation.

 * Sorry for the delay.
    The synchronization option of Polylang was enabled. I have
   started now again from a fresh installation of Lingotek plugin starting from 
   a backup of the db before the translation: the problem could be because Polylang
   needs to have the categories translated before, as you suggest.
 * But when I try to translate the woocommerce categories, I get an error on someone
   and I cannot complete for it the translation.
 * I have done on product categories section of woocommerce with bulk action:
    –
   upload to lingotek, waited – update translation status and again until I get 
   the “ok” on all – request translation status, waited – update translation – download
   translation
 * When I did this last step (with bulk action) I have seen that some translation(
   near to all) was not downloaded, and no error was showed.
 * If I try to download the translation on each category I get this error:
 *     ```

 * I confirm that in my woocommerce installation doesn’t work: after that I have
   created (by hand) the product categories, I did the translation of the products.
   
   Still the products are not shown in the categories: all the translated categories
   are empty.
 * The only way I have found to show the product in the category is edit it, de-
   clicking the category, click again and save.

 * Just a couple questions for you so I can further investigate and help you resolve
   this issue. Are any of your Categories being translated? Do you have any Sub-
   Categories?

 * There is a plugin that integrates Polylang and Woocommerce more fully together.
   I have installed it on my local environment and Category translation and syncing
   to my Products is working great!
 * The plugin is [Hyyan WooCommerce Polylang Integration.](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-poly-integration/)
   Please give it a try to see if it can help you get your Categories and Products
   all translated and synced together.
 * Also, with the release of version 1.0.9 of our plugin it should solve the issues
   you were having with Category translations not being downloaded. If it does not,
   please let us know.
