Associating shipping classes between languages

    I’m working on a bilingual shop using this plugin, I just need clarification on if a shipping classes can be associated with another shipping class under a different language, in the same fashion as posts and pages?

    I see you can create language specific shipping classes by creating a shipping class when you have your WP back end set to filter a specific language and not “show all languages”. It also seems that if you create a shipping class with the “show all languages” filter on, it will assign that new class to the default language.

    shipping methods are translatable in Language, Strings Translations eg:
    /wp-admin/admin.php?page=mlang_strings&s&group=WooCommerce+Shipping+Methods&paged=1

    you can choose not to synchronize shipping class between Product translations in Settings, WooPoly, Metas – not sure why you would want to do this though…

    see the wiki here and elsewhere for instructions on how to use this plugin:

    Well I’m using the strings translation so the customer can see “ground shipping” in their respective language for example so I’m fine for that aspect.

    What I’m wondering is why you can choose to sync shipping classes between languages in the plugin options if you have no way to link two shipping classes created in different languages.

    For example, the site is in English and French, I created an English shipping class called “Heavy Items” as well as another “Heavy Items” class for the French language. If I have the sync shipping classes setting on, when assigning an English product the heavy items class, it’s French counterpart product will be assigned no shipping class, and vice versa.

    If there’s no way to actually have shipping classes sync because a) they can’t be assigned to multiple languages and b) there’s no way to associate different languages shipping classes together, why is sync shipping classes an option in the plugin?

    the plugin is simply implemented in a generic way so synchronisation can be turned off for any meta item, for example if you have a plugin which requires this.

    Ah okay that makes sense. Would be cool if the linking feature for shipping classes gets added at some point, not a deal breaker though.

    do note that as per the readme and pinned post there is no actual support on these forums.

    Feature requests should be added to:
    https://github.com/hyyan/woo-poly-integration/issues

    It needs to be a lot more clearly explained though, I don’t understand from this thread what is the use case or actual request.
