Woocommerce account page translation is not picking up the bricks template

How To
1

This project is built with Bricks, has WooCommerce and WPML to translate.
(It’s only my third bricks website, and quite a challenging one …)

During the built I’ve learned a ton of new things from reading and searching this forum.
Setting up the website and translations went well, except for the account page.

The standard language is Dutch.
In Dutch the account page is showing the page and templates I’ve setup according to the Woocommerce account builder steps in the academy. (From februari 2024, I realize it is a new feature).
So the Dutch page is correct.

However, when I switch to english, it shows the standard WooCommerce setup.
On the login-page itself it is not even that much different. But when logged-in it is.

The product-pages and archives show the right templates in both languages.
So why doesn’t it work with the account-page?

Does anyone know what might cause this issue and how to fix it?

Any help will be very appreciated.

For anyone experiencing something similar, this was the answer I got from Bricksbuilder. Yeah, a bug!

"This issue is related to a known bug we’ve identified and reported to WPML. WIP: WPML and Front Page using templates not rendering.

The bug occurs when a page doesn’t contain actual content but only has template elements or, in your case, a WooCommerce shortcode. In such scenarios, WPML doesn’t trigger certain hooks needed for the translation and updating of your template in the Advance Translation Editor (ATE).

As a temporary workaround, you can add some text to the ‘my-account’ page, then translate the page using SPML. Afterward, you can remove the temporary text and translate again to eliminate it from the translated page. "
