WooCommerce Multilingual 3.7 includes the support for strings with different source languages.
Strings in different languages
Up until this version, WooCommerce Multilingual required the original version of all strings translated with WPML String Translation to be in English, because this string translator did not allow different strings to have different source languages.
This has changed now. As of WPML version 3.3 (currently a release candidate), it’ll be possible to specify a different source language for different strings. In WooCommerce Multilingual, it means that even if the strings from WooCommerce or your theme were in English (as part of gettext calls in the code), your admin texts may be in other languages – for instance in the default language of your site (which might not be English).
Although this functionality is only available when using WPML 3.3, backward compatibility with previous WPML versions exists.
