Overview of the issue

When using the ”Filter products by attribute” widget from Product Filters for WooCommerce and setting the display option to “Dropdown”, the attribute label is not translated on the frontend (e.g., “Select Color”).

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.


  • Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.
    /**
 * Force the translation of product attribute labels on the frontend.
 */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
    if ( ! is_admin() && ! wpml_is_ajax() && function_exists( 'WPMLContainermake' ) ) {
        $wcStrings = WPMLContainermake( WCML_WC_Strings::class );

        if ( $wcStrings ) {
            add_filter( 'woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies', [ $wcStrings, 'translate_attribute_taxonomies_labels' ] );
        }
    }
} );
