Problem: The client is developing a WooCommerce shop and wants to translate WooCommerce strings from English to Serbian-Latin using WPML's String Translation. They are unsure if they can export these strings, translate them, and then import them back. Solution: We explained that the export functionality in WPML > String Translation is based on the text domain, allowing the inclusion of translations for one language per file. Each string has a source language, and translations can only be made from this source language to another language. Most strings are registered in English by default, meaning they can only be translated from English to another language. If the client needs to translate from Serbian Cyrillic to Serbian Latin, the strings must originally be in Serbian Cyrillic. Since most strings are likely in English, translating directly from Serbian Cyrillic to Serbian Latin isn't possible unless the strings are originally registered in Serbian Cyrillic. For more details on changing the source language of strings, visit this documentation.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also highly suggest checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, please contact us through the WPML support forum.
Problem: The client is trying to translate content from English to Serbian Latin using WPML for a site under development. They need to translate WooCommerce strings and 13,000 products. The client is unsure if Serbian Latin is supported by WPML's automatic translation services and if the necessary translations are available. Solution: 1. Serbian Latin translations for plugins like WooCommerce are not directly provided by WPML but can be sourced from the WordPress community if available. Check here: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce/ 2. If Serbian Latin is activated on your site and available in the community translations, they will automatically download. 3. If no translation is available for Serbian Latin, you will need to manually translate the WooCommerce strings using WPML's String Translation. For guidance, visit: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/ 4. For automatic translation of products, only the Microsoft translation engine supports Serbian Latin. More information on automatic translation can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/ and https://ate.wpml.org/mt_langs
