PPOM fields fail to display on WPML translated product pages
If PPOM fields appear on the original WooCommerce product but do not appear on the translated product page, the field group is usually attached to the original product only.

Why this happens
PPOM product-specific assignments are tied to the WooCommerce product's WordPress post ID. WPML creates a separate translated product for each language, and each translation has its own product ID.
Because of that, a PPOM meta group that is attached directly to the original product does not automatically carry over to the translated product page.
How to fix it
Option 1: Attach the field group through categories or tags
If your translated products share synchronized product categories or product tags in WPML, attach the PPOM meta group to that shared category or tag instead of attaching it only to one product.
This is usually the best option for multilingual stores because one category-level or tag-level assignment can cover multiple translated products.
For the available attachment methods, refer to Attach meta groups to products.
Option 2: Attach the field group to each translated product
If category or tag assignment does not fit your store setup, manually attach the PPOM meta group to each translated product.
After saving the field group and the translated product assignment, clear your site cache and retest the translated product page in an incognito or private browsing window.
Option 3: Remap translated products to the source product
PPOM includes a ppom_use_parent_product_ml filter that, when enabled, remaps a translated product's ID back to the original (source) product using WPML's wpml_object_id. With this filter active, a field group attached to the original product also applies on its translations, so you do not have to reassign it per language.
To enable it, add the following snippet to your theme's functions.php file or a code snippets plugin:
add_filter( 'ppom_use_parent_product_ml', '__return_true' );📝 Note: This filter remaps product-level assignments. If your field groups are assigned through categories or tags, test the translated product pages to confirm the fields resolve as expected.
If you prefer not to use this filter, use shared category or tag assignments whenever possible, or attach the field group to each translated product individually.
