Background of the issue:
I set up WPML + Woocommerce on my site, and some existing Woocommerce clients started receiving WC emails in the wrong language.
Symptoms:
I expected to see an order email in English, but instead, I got the order email in Brazilian Portuguese.
Questions:
How can I fix the issue of Woocommerce order emails being sent in the wrong language?
Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.
Please try the following steps:
1- Go to WPML-> Theme and plugins localization, select WooCommerce, and scan it
2- Go to WPML-> String Translation
3- Scroll down and click on the "Translate texts in admin screens »" link
4- Search for the needed strings
5- Select the strings
6- Click on the "Add to String Translation" button
7- Then click on the "« Return to String Translation" link
8- Translate the strings, clear the cache, and check the front end
Thanks for your reply. I'm following your instructions, but I suspect you did not fully understand what the issue is.
The original site language is English, and all of my existing clients have always received Woocommerce order emails (new orders and subscription renewals) in English.
I installed WPML to set up Brazilian Portuguese as I want to try to hit that market. I don't have any clients from Brazil yet, but I noticed that some of my existing clients (English) started receiving order renewal (or renewal failure) emails in Portuguese.
Will your instructions solve this issue? The strings seem to already be translated by Woocommerce .po files as I never translated them.
Please select English instead of the site's default and check the issue.
