translation problem order_item_meta

As far as I understand you have a feature meta in the product, and that is not being displayed properly for you.
Did you try to use WPML api to get the translated value? – https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/wpml-hooks-reference/
Maybe getting the translated product may help – something like:

        $order_language = get_post_meta( $order->id, 'wpml_language', true );

        $tr_product_id = apply_filters( 'translate_object_id', $product_id, get_post_type( $product_id ), false, $order_language );

I am afraid that without more information, I cannot be of better help.

If you wish, you can always create a new ticket in our forum at wpml.org so that we can help you better and try and debug your setup.

Hi George, thx for your reply ??

// add extra info to general product tab
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'woo_add_custom_general_fields' );
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'woo_add_custom_general_fields_save' );

function woo_add_custom_general_fields() {

global $woocommerce, $post;
// Text Field
woocommerce_wp_textarea_input(
array(
'id' => 'features',
'label' => __( 'Features', 'woocommerce' ),
'placeholder' => 'add features here',
'desc_tip' => 'true',
'description' => __( 'You can add features information in this field', 'woocommerce' )
)
);
}
//save post meta data
function woo_add_custom_general_fields_save( $post_id ){
	$feat = $_POST['features'];
	// if set  > save data to post_meta
	if( isset( $feat ) )
	update_post_meta( $post_id, 'Features', esc_attr( $feat ) );
	// if set  > save data to post_meta
}

When i view the order in my account page and switch languages the product title translates

Productname (EN)
Features <-
text (ok)

now switch language to DE
Produktname(DE)
Features <- this should become Eigenschaften
text (ok)

missed some part of the code, sorry, so here is the full

// add extra info to general product tab
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'woo_add_custom_general_fields' );
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'woo_add_custom_general_fields_save' );

function woo_add_custom_general_fields() {

global $woocommerce, $post;
// Text Field
woocommerce_wp_textarea_input(
array(
'id' => 'features',
'label' => __( 'Features', 'woocommerce' ),
'placeholder' => 'add features here',
'desc_tip' => 'true',
'description' => __( 'You can add features information in this field', 'woocommerce' )
)
);
}
//save post meta data
function woo_add_custom_general_fields_save( $post_id ){
	$feat = $_POST['features'];
	// if set  > save data to post_meta
	if( isset( $feat ) )
	update_post_meta( $post_id, 'features', esc_attr( $feat ) );
}
// add to order
add_action( 'woocommerce_add_order_item_meta', 'woo_order_extra_meta', 10, 3 );
function woo_order_extra_meta( $item_id, $values, $cart_item_key ) {
$feat =   get_post_meta( $values[ 'product_id' ], 'features', true );
wc_add_order_item_meta( $item_id, 'Features',  $feat , false );

iF I understand your setup correctly, you have a static string for the “Features”.
Perhaps you can also use our api for that string as well:
https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_register_single_string/
do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', string $context, string $name, string $value )
– to register the string and then you can translate it in WPML > String Translation (you can include this near the place where you want to show the value, or in separate file – it does not matter).
https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_translate_single_string/
apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', string $original_value, string $domain, string $name, string $language_code )
– to translate it -> you call this at the place where you want to display the value

You can see sample code on how to use it in the urls that I have provided.
