Introduction – Multi language WooCommerce store

I was asked by my client to make a Multi language WooCommerce store. They have a Canadian part of their business and it’s a legal requirement to have the site in French and English.

Using the Polylang plugin were were able to add translations for the store in both languages so all the product pages, checkout cart and thankyou pages were in both languages

The after sale emails were also translated depending upon which language the customer check out in.

I’ve built with multi language / multi currency sites using WPML, but we were forced to use Polylang due to the host we were using,

It worked seamlessly in the end after some custom coding of the way we output strings.

We used the pro version of Polylang to take into account their WooCommerce extension. I also use this third part tool to show translatable strings in the back end of WordPress.
