FAQ

Does this work with other e-commerce plugins?

No. This plugin is tailored for WooCommerce.

What do I need to do in my theme?

Make sure that your theme is not hard-coding any URL. Always use API calls to receive URLs to pages and you’ll be fine.

My checkout page displays in the same language

In order for the checkout and store pages to appear translated, you need to create several WordPress pages and insert the WooCommerce shortcodes into them. You’ll have to go over the documentation and see that you performed all steps on the way.

Can I have different URLs for the store in different languages?

Yes. You can translate the product permalink base, product category base, product tag base and the product attribute base on the Store URLs section.

Why do my product category pages return a 404 error?

In this case, you may need to translate the product category base. You can do that on the Store URLs section.

Can I set the prices in the secondary currencies?

By default, the prices in the secondary currencies are determined using the exchange rates that you fill in when you add or edit a currency. On individual products, however, you can override this and set prices manually for the secondary currencies.

Can I have separate currencies for each language?

Yes. By default, each currency will be available for all languages, but you can customize this and disable certain currencies on certain languages. You also have the option to display different currencies based on your customers’ locations instead.

Is this plugin compatible with other WooCommerce extensions?

WooCommerce Multilingual is compatible with all major WooCommerce extensions. We’re continuously working on checking and maintaining compatibility and collaborate closely with the authors of these extensions.

Reviews

Best multilingual plugin

March 10, 2022
This is by far the best multilingual plugin for Wordpress. I've tried many others, but I should say that WPML is the best of all.

The ideal plug-in for WP site translation

February 27, 2022
I am very satisfied with WPML features and capabilities, I managed to translate my website from Arabic to English in a very easy way, also support team is amazing, they are fast in their response, very helpful and skilled. I faced minor problems that fixed in a remarkably short time. Congratulations guys, really well done.

Just what I need!

February 22, 2022
The WPML plugins are huge and influence the whole shop, it's not only translating just the product texts, what my original idea was. It needs a lot of resources but if you feed it sufficiently, it does what you need and even more. The best: the support! How good a service really is you see latest, when it comes to problems. I experienced a couple of them and found the support (in my own language, german!) fast and competent, even when the true problem was sitting in front of the screen. The plugin is just one part. The support is the other, important too. Thank you! Detlef
