I went back from version 2.4.2 to version 2.4.0 but unfortunately many main language (Dutch) strings are still corrupt. I hope that database is not corrupted.

Translatepress should NEVER change the main language. It is only for translations of the main language.

What I already tried is to use “product” for each language. So also French, German, etc. For that I used the strings translate option of Translatepress for the Woocommerce slug “product/”. After saving “product” for each language, it works fine. But after a while (for example) the French version is CHANGING without asking the URL to “produit” nevertheless. And giving 404 errors. After checking again the strings translate fields for the product Woocommerce slug are emptied for some reason. Not by me!

There definately is a bug in Translatepress for this.

However, it seems to have stopped after I have added this snippet of code:

/*
Plugin Name: TranslatePress – No translation for product base slug
Plugin URI: https://translatepress.com/
Description: Disable translating the product base slug in WooCommerce for secondary languages.
Version: 1.0.
Author: Cozmoslabs, Cristian Antohe
Author URI: https://cozmoslabs.com/

*/

add_action( ‘trp_before_running_hooks’, ‘trpc_remove_hooks_to_disable_product_base_slug_translation’, 10, 1);
function trpc_remove_hooks_to_disable_product_base_slug_translation( $trp_loader ){
$trp_loader->remove_hook( ‘option_rewrite_rules’, ‘woocommerce_filter_permalinks_on_other_languages’ );
$trp_loader->remove_hook( ‘option_woocommerce_permalinks’, ‘woocommerce_filter_permalink_option’ );
}

Now, each language keeps the “product” in the URL, and it no longer seems to get translated and corrupt by Translatepress. So, I’m very glad with this code for now.

I wish however, Translatepress would be able to fix the problem, so I don’t need to have extra code.

So, people having the same problem as I do, by adding the code above (via Code Snippets for example), you can prevent the problem from happening.
