If you have a WooCommerce store that caters to a global audience, it’s important to make sure that your site is fully translated into different languages. One way to do this is by using woocommerce translate plugins like LOCO Translate or WPML. These plugins make it easy to translate your entire site, including your WooCommerce wishlist translate, into any language you decide.

In this guide, you will learn how to use the LOCO translate and WPML string translation to translate a plugin. We are using the MoreConvert WooCommerce Wishlist Plugin, but you can apply this process to any plugin you want. 

Installing & Configuring MoreConvert Wishlist Plugin #

First you need to install and activate the MoreConvert wishlist plugin. Here is a guide to do that.

After activating the plugin, you will face the setup wizard.

In the first step, you can set the wishlist page name and limit wishlist to logged-in users.

Next, you should choose the wishlist button text and position.

Here, you can define an action to be done after clicking the wishlist button.

Next, you may enable the sharing option for the wishlist.

Finally, you can set the MC wishlist support options.

Now you are ready for MoreConvert wishlist translate.

Installing & Configuring WPML Plugin #

To begin the process, you’ll need to install and activate both the WPML and MoreConvert Wishlist plugin. You can use this guide for detailed instructions on the WPML plugin installation process.

WPML Translation Modes

Once the plugin is installed and activated, you’ll need to run the WPML set-up wizard. During this process, you’ll have the option to choose between two different translation modes:

• Translate Everything

• Translate Some

Translate Everything

Translate Everything mode will automatically translate all the site’s main content into all secondary languages as content is published or updated. This mode is best for those who want the most seamless and automatic translation process.

Translate Some

Translate Some mode allows for more manual control over the translation process. You can choose what to translate, when, and who will translate it. This mode is best for those who want to have more control over the translations or for those who want to use professional translation services.

Translating Pages and Posts with WPML #

You can easily translate all pages and posts on your website.

If you select the Translate Everything mode, all page, post, and CPT content will be translated automatically. Any smaller texts, like widgets or form fields, that are not translated automatically can be translated via the String Translation Module.

If you select the Translate Some mode, you’ll need to know how to translate pages built using the default WordPress editor or with any WPML-compatible page builders. WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor makes this process easy, with illustrative screenshots to guide you through the process.

6. Now just click on the “+” icon under the flag of the language of the desired country and do your translation. You can also use the “Shift + Tab” key to go to the previous language and the next language with the “Tab” key.
   
7. To save the changes, just click outside the translation window or press one of the language change keys or use the enter button.
8. Now you can see the changes by going to your site page and changing the language.
