We've added a ton of new functionality to WooCommerce multilingual and we'd like you to take it for a spin. It's in Beta, but has passed our extensive QA, so you might be able to use this in production sites, after carefully checking.

New features in this release are:

  • Multiple-currencies – now, you can enable more than one currency in WooCommerce and have a different price (in a different currency), for each language.
  • Synchronization of product variations – variations are always a complex thing, but this release makes it much simpler. When you edit variations in the default language, the same variations become available in the translations.
  • Fully translatable attributes – standard and custom product properties are now fully translatable, via WPML's String Translation module.

Besides these additions, we've also included tons of bug fixes, that help your multilingual store run smooth.

When you use WooCommerce multilingual, remember to also enable WPML (core), WPML String Translation and WPML Translation Management to enjoy all the new features on this release.
