I need a python snippet to create categories with translation. Python 3.8 with woocommerce package.
Wordpress with woocommerce plugin in version 7.3
WPML Multilingual CMS: 4.5.14
I have this snippet in python:
from woocommerce import API
# create an instance of the API class
wcapi = API(
url="FQDN",
consumer_key="yourconsumerkey",
consumer_secret="yourconsumersecret",
wp_api=True,
version="wc/v3"
)
# create a dictionary with the category data for the main language
category_data_en = {
"name": "Category Name in English",
"parent": 0,
"meta_data": [
{
"key": "_wpml_language",
"value": "en"
},
{
"key": "_wpml_translation_status",
"value": "0"
},
{
"key": "_wpml_element_type",
"value": "tax_category"
}
]
}
# create the category using the WooCommerce API for the main language
new_category_en = wcapi.post("products/categories", category_data_en).json()
# create a dictionary with the category data for the translation
category_data_pl = {
"name": "Category Name in Polish",
"meta_data": [
{
"key": "_wpml_language",
"value": "pl"
},
{
"key": "_wpml_translation_of",
"value": new_category_en.get("id")
},
{
"key": "_wpml_translation_status",
"value": "1"
},
{
"key": "_wpml_element_type",
"value": "tax_category"
}
]
}
# create the translation using the WooCommerce API
new_category_pl = wcapi.post("products/categories", category_data_pl).json()
and it creates two categories in the English language on my website. What am I doing wrong?
I can see that in my WPML plugin setting there is the info: WooCommerce Multilingual Not installed Is it necessary to install it to get those categories created properly?
What I had to do is:
