Storefront & WPML – create a multilingual shop

Storefront, by WooThemes, is a free eCommerce theme. It is designed to be simple and clean from the ground up. Storefront is built using WooCommerce API and can be used with all WooCommerce extensions. In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to translate every part of the Storefront theme using WPML.

Content

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. Follow the steps in the WPML beginner’s guide to verify that your setup is correct.

For a better translation experience with contents created using Visual Composer, activate WPML Translation Editor. To do this go to the WPML -> Translation Management page and click the Multilingual Content Setup tab. There, check the Use the translation editor option in the How to translate posts and pages section and click on Save.

Translating pages

With WPML, you can translate any types of contents in your site, including pages and posts. For an easy start, read our beginners guide to site translation.

Translating categories and tags

Translating texts from the Storefront theme, plugins and other places

Besides contents coming from posts and pages in your site, there are usually some texts coming from other places. The most common examples are themes and plugins. To learn how to translate these texts, read our documentation page about translating these texts manually or sending them to others for translation.
