Translating WooCommerce urls, emails and other settings

We recommend you to read the Polylang documentation on how to use the Translations panel, before you start to translate WooCommerce.

1. Translate WooCommerce settings

Polylang for WooCommerce allows you to translate the WooCommerce settings such as the email notifications, the shipping methods, the checkout (Payment Gateways) and the taxes.

You should first modify your settings in WooCommerce > Settings. 

For example, you need to replace the placeholders of the WooCommerce emails as shown below  . Once it done, the subject will be translatable in the Strings Translations table. As you can see the email heading placeholder  has not been yet modified. It means that it is not translatable in the Translations table for the moment.

Once done you modified your settings, go in Languages > Translations.

The WooCommerce settings are stored in the Translations list table in the ‘WooCommerce’ group.

Here, you can find the attribute names, the emails sent to customers, the shipping methods, the checkout and taxes strings.

You can also use the ‘Search translations’ function to find your strings easily.

Translate your strings and don’t forget to hit the ‘Save changes’ button before going to the next page.

2. Translate WooCommerce URLs

You need Polylang Pro to translate URLs

Translate Permalinks

Custom WooCommerce URL slugs are defined in Settings > Permalinks:

permalinks

After having setup your Permalinks structure go in Languages > Translations.

The WooCommerce URL slugs are stored in the Translations list table in the ‘URL slugs’ group. Here you can find the product attribute base, the product category base, the product tag base, the product permalinks base and the endpoints.

Translate your strings in the ‘Translations’ column and click on ‘Save changes’ as shown below.

Once the translation is done, for an English and French site your URLs look like:

Product category base

http://mysite.com/en/my-product-category/shoes
http://mysite.com/fr/ma-categorie-produit/chaussures

Product tag base

http://mysite.com/en/my-product-tag-base/a-tag
