Besides the variation swatches plugin installed, make sure you have the following plugins WPML extensions activated:

> WPML Multilingual CMS
> WPML String Translation
> WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency

If you need documentation to setup WPML perfect, follow this guideline: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/

Let's follow the steps given to set up WPML and Swatches perfectly.

Install the required WPML plugins

Now please go to WPML > Settings > Custom Term Meta Translation

If you use the prior version variation swatches for WooCommerce  2.1.0, ensure the following fields are checked in the copy checkbox.

1. image_size
2. is_dual_color
3. product_attribute_color
4. product_attribute_image
5. secondary_color
6. show_tooltip
7. thumbnail_id
8. tooltip_image_id
9. tooltip_text

Once the given checkbox field is selected from the copy list, press the save button.  I've added a custom Term Meta Translation table for your further guideline.

Note: If your store runs on the 2.1.0 or version after 2.1.0, you don't need to follow the previous steps. Our plugin will do the job automatically.

Translate Attribute from WPML Taxonomy Translation settings

You can translate all the meta from  WPML > Taxonomy Translation > Select the taxonomy to translate. Please choose your desired taxonomy and translate it according to your requirements.

Manually Translate Attribute Meta

If the pointed setting in the screenshot is selected, the attribute meta should be translated automatically.

If you want to manually translate a specific attribute term, you can do that from Products > Attribute > Configure terms. 

Troubleshooting Variation Translation (If needed)

If you have enabled Automatic translation and variations are not displaying the translated value, you can troubleshoot it from here-

WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency > Status > Troubleshooting (At the bottom of the page)

You will get an interface like this:

Now, from the mentioned screen, you can sync all the translation data from this interface.

If you are using Jetpack Wordpress infinite-scroll you don't need to do anything. But if you using a custom or 3rd party plugin you have to trigger the following event after the "Ajax load more" completed

$(document).trigger('woo_variation_swatches_pro_init');
