How to Translate Global Add-Ons

To translate global add-ons:

  2. Filter by the wc_product_addons_strings domain.
  3. Select the strings you want to translate and send them for translation.

If you don’t see the fields from a global add-on group in Translation Management, go to Products → Add-ons, edit the add-on group, and resave it. When you return to the Other texts (Strings) section in Translation Management, you should see the global add-on fields there for you to translate.

How to Set Custom Prices for Product Add-ons in Multiple Currencies

In a multi-currency store, WooCommerce Multilingual automatically calculates prices for product add-ons in other currencies. If you prefer, you can manually set custom prices for both per-product and global add-ons in each currency.

Setting Custom Prices for Per-Product Add-ons

To change the currency settings for per-product add-ons:

  1. Edit the product and in the General section, choose Set prices in other currencies manually.
  2. Switch over to the Add-ons section and click the pencil icon next to each option to add your custom prices in other currencies.

  2. In the Multi-currency settings section, enable the option to Set prices in other currencies manually.
  3. Click the Pencil icon next to your options to manually set the prices in each currency.
