Getting started
Make sure that the Storefront theme is activated, by going to the Appearance -> Themes page.
Make sure that the WPML Multilingual CMS, WPML String Translation, WPML Translation Management, WPML Media Translation, and WooCommerce Multilingual plugins are activated.
For a better translation experience with contents created using Visual Composer, activate WPML Translation Editor. To do this, go to the WPML -> Settings page. There, check the Use the translation editor option under the How to translate posts and pages section and click Save.
Translating pages
With WPML, you can translate any types of contents on your site, including pages and posts. For an easy start, read our Getting Started Guide.
Translating categories and tags
See our detailed documentation on translating taxonomies.
Translating texts from the Storefront theme, plugins, and other places
Besides contents coming from posts and pages on your site, there are usually some texts coming from other places. Most common examples are themes and plugins.
To learn how to translate these texts, read our documentation page about translating strings.
Translating menus
With WPML, you can easily synchronize your language menus. For more information, please see our complete menus translation tutorial.
Translating WooCommerce elements using WCML
To translate everything that WooCommerce offers, download the WooCommerce Multilingual plugin (WCML) from your WPML account. Visit our dedicated WCML documentation to learn how to setup a multilingual store and translate your products, categories, variations, shipping classes and more.
