Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate the WooCommerce system into two languages: German and English. I expected to see emails in German from the German URL or backend.

Symptoms:
Woocommerce emails are always in English with WooCommerce Multilingual enabled. With WooCommerce Multilingual disabled, emails are correct again.

Questions:
Why are WooCommerce emails always in English when WooCommerce Multilingual is enabled?
How can I ensure emails are sent in German from the German URL or backend?

Of course this worked with WordPress < 6.7

Okay, "WPML String Translation" seems to be the problem -> it is working, when I disable this plugin.

I apologize for the trouble you encountered. We are aware of this issue and it will be addressed in the next release.

In the meantime, could you please try the following steps:

1. Go to WPML → Theme and Plugins Localization.
2. Deactivate the option "Automatically load the theme's .mo file using 'load_textdomain.'"

Let me know if this resolves the problem.

I am sorry to hear this. Can you try the following fix after a full backup?

1. Open file /wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/classes/MO/Hooks/LoadTextDomain.php

2. Add the line at the beginning of the file 

use WPML\LIB\WP\WordPress;

just before 

use WPML\ST\MO\File\Manager;

3. On line 38, change this 

$this->reloadAlreadyLoadedMOFiles();

to this

		if ( WordPress::versionCompare( '>', '6.6.999' ) ) {
			add_action( 'init', function() {
				$this->reloadAlreadyLoadedMOFiles();
			}, 0 );
		} else {
			$this->reloadAlreadyLoadedMOFiles();
		}

4. Save it.
