The purpose of this redesign is to make it easy to translate complex elements. The greatest winner from this update in WPML is WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce, which gets a streamlined translation process for WooCommerce products. Along the way, we also redesigned the rest of WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce admin.<\/p>\n<h2>Updated translation queue<\/h2>\n<p>The translation queue is where translators pick their jobs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_875685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-875685\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translations-queue-wpml34.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translations-queue-wpml34-300x171.jpg\" alt=\"Translations queue in WPML 3.4\" width=\"300\" height=\"171\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-875685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translations-queue-wpml34-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translations-queue-wpml34-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translations-queue-wpml34-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translations-queue-wpml34.jpg 880w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-875685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Translations queue in WPML 3.4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We've updated the general design of this page for better filtering and easier status reporting.<\/p>\n<h2>Completely new translation editor<\/h2>\n<p>The new translation editor looks a bit different than before and is completely rebuilt, to make the entire translation process more streamlined.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_875686\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-875686\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-top-wpml34.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-top-wpml34-300x265.jpg\" alt=\"Translation editor, top section\" width=\"300\" height=\"265\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-875686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-top-wpml34-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-top-wpml34-150x132.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-top-wpml34-768x678.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-top-wpml34.jpg 869w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-875686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Translation editor, top section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_875687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-875687\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-bottom-wpml34.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-bottom-wpml34-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"Translation editor, bottom part\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-875687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-bottom-wpml34-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-bottom-wpml34-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-bottom-wpml34-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/translation-editor-bottom-wpml34.jpg 856w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-875687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New translation editor, bottom part<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It displays the original and translation side by side, with controls that allow you to easily copy from the originals to the translations.<\/p>\n<p>The exciting part about this new translation editor is not its looks. That's nice CSS. The really great part is that this translation editor now also integrates with WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce's product translation.<\/p>\n<h2>Translating WooCommerce Products<\/h2>\n<p>If you've used WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce before, you probably remember that translating products worked very differently if you use the 'Translation Editor' or the 'Product translation editor'.<\/p>\n<p>No more. The new translation editor in WPML runs whenever you will translate WooCommerce products, no matter what workflow you choose.<\/p>\n<p>See how it looks when I translate a product from the 'Products' list in WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce:<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe width=\"525\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4if5anyCUtE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This looks like a cosmetic change, but it has huge usability implications. Now, you can translate WooCommerce stores, which use the just basic WooCommerce or with a long list of WooCommerce extensions. For your translation work, you will get a nice vertically-aligned editor, with clear fields and convenient controls.<\/p>\n<p>When you finish translating a product, you get back to where you started from. If you are a translator, using WPML's &quot;Translations&quot; queue, you will return to the next item in the queue. If you are a developer, using the &quot;Products&quot; list in WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce, you will return to that list.<\/p>\n<h2>New organization for WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce admin functions<\/h2>\n<p>Until now, the default tab in WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce was the Status tab. This kinda makes sense for the first time you use WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce, but it very quickly becomes a nag, when you always need to click again to reach where you really want to go.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_875689\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-875689\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce default tab with products\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-875689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/wcml38-products.jpg 1037w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-875689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">WPML Multilingual &#038; Multicurrency for WooCommerce default tab with products<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, the first tab is the &quot;Products&quot; tab.
