How Do I Translate a WooCommerce Theme?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:16 pm

Have you ever wanted to use a WooCommerce theme but found that it wasn’t available in your language? Maybe you’ve tried to use a translation plugin but it didn’t work well with the theme.

Or perhaps you’re a developer who wants to create a WooCommerce theme that can be easily translated by users. In this article, we’ll show you how to translate a WooCommerce theme.

First, you need to install the WordPress Translation Plugin. This plugin will let you translate your theme into any language. Once it’s installed, activate the plugin and then go to the Translation page.

PRO TIP: When translating a WooCommerce theme, it is important to use a child theme so that your changes are not overwritten when the parent theme is updated. It is also important to use a translation plugin or service that is compatible with WooCommerce, so that you can be sure that all WooCommerce text strings will be translated correctly.

Next, you need to select the language you want to translate your theme into. Once you’ve done that, the plugin will automatically generate a .pot file for your theme. This file contains all of the text that needs to be translated.

Now, you need to open the .pot file in a text editor and start translating the text. Once you’re done, save the file and upload it to your WordPress site.

Finally, go to the WordPress Settings page and select your newly translated language. That’s it! Your WooCommerceTheme is now translated into your chosen language.
