WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce 5.8.0

Changelog

Requires WPML 5.3.0.

What's New

• The reminder to translate the WooCommerce store pages appears in the block editor's Language panel.
• When you delete a global product attribute, its terms in the other languages are deleted too, if WPML is set to delete term translations.
• The Products list shows the Languages column by default and marks products that are duplicates of another language.
• WooCommerce Multilingual's cookies are set with SameSite=Lax, and Secure on HTTPS sites, so browsers and security scanners no longer flag them.
• The customs fields added in WooCommerce 11.3 (commodity code, country of origin and customs description) are copied to product and variation translations and locked on the translation's edit screen.
• Security hardening.
• The PayPal Payments buttons show in the current language. For a language PayPal does not list, such as Turkish or Catalan, the Apple Pay and Google Pay buttons do too.

Performance

• Pages no longer run the multicurrency price filter on every custom field read, which on large pages meant tens of thousands of extra checks.
• Shop pages no longer load jQuery UI Dialog and Dashicons when the cart is set to reset on a language or currency switch.
• A cart with variations reads its attribute terms together, and a language switch reads the translated products together.
• Syncing a product clears the shop-wide WooCommerce transients once, not once per translation.

Fixes in Bookings

• The Bookings calendar lists each resource once, in the current admin language.
• A bookable product exported and imported back with its translations keeps the person types of each language.
• The Bookings Availability calendar shows only products in the current language, without placeholder entries for other languages.

Fixes in Subscriptions

• A fixed-discount Subscriptions plan with a manual price in a secondary currency no longer shows a converted "($X off)" label.
• Subscriptions switches charge the manual price of a simple subscription in the shopper's currency, also on translated products, and an empty manual price in the store currency keeps the product price.
• A failed renewal paid from a language with another currency keeps the renewal order's currency.

Fixes in Emails

• Emails sent from the order screen show dates and times in the format translated for the order's language.
• Emails sent from the order screen show the email header image translated for the order's language.
• The admin New order email lists the products in the admin's language when the shopper ordered in another language.
• Order emails sent from the order screen use the translated order-pay address in their payment link.

Fixes in Multicurrency

• With "Show only products with custom prices in secondary currencies", products priced automatically are also hidden from Related products and WooCommerce product blocks.
• WooCommerce → Settings → General shows the store's own currency format, not a secondary currency's, when the admin language uses another currency.
• A WooCommerce ability call that asks for a currency no longer leaves that currency set for the shopper's later requests.
• A currency switcher loaded by a theme or plugin with an AJAX request lists only the currencies enabled for the current language.
• The currency shown first for each language is kept when WPML is deactivated and activated again.
• Keyboard users can select a currency in the Dropdown currency switcher.
• Changing the lifting charge in the Multicurrency settings updates the exchange rates on save.
• The warning that the default currency was changed reaches every store manager, whatever their admin language. A Shop manager can dismiss it, an Editor no longer sees it, and its link opens the Multi-currency settings.
• A manual sale price in a secondary currency applies when its sale schedule has only a start date or only an end date.
• A manual sale price in a secondary currency stays on sale for the whole of its last scheduled day.
• When a scheduled sale starts or ends, products keep their store-currency price instead of a converted one, even when the language uses another default currency.
• On the product edit screen, prices determined automatically from the exchange rate show the rounding and auto-subtract the shop applies.
• Saving a currency's settings in Multicurrency keeps "All Accounts" for bank transfer instead of showing customers only the first bank account.
• With OceanWP, AJAX add to cart works on product pages in languages that use multicurrency.
• A variable product with every variation hidden no longer triggers a WooCommerce 11.1 log error about variation prices.
• A refused save or delete in the currency switcher dialog stays visible as a failure, and you can retry.
• On a block theme, the Multicurrency screen no longer offers a widget area for the currency switcher.

Fixes in Orders and Stock

• Stock held by pending orders counts across all translations of a product, so the shop no longer oversells.
• Stock synchronization reaches every product translation, also when a translation has duplicate stock rows or is delivered outside wp-admin.
• With Table Rate Shipping, viewing an order no longer saves its shipping line's title in the default language.
• Recalculating an order keeps the right amounts when the store's decimal separator is translated and the admin works in another language.
• Customers still see their downloads after an admin changes the order's language.
• Orders created with WP-CLI in a given currency use that currency's prices.
• The order edit screen shows a line's attribute terms in the line's language.

Fixes in Other WooCommerce Extensions

• With Name Your Price 4.0 and later, Name Your Price's own multicurrency support is used.
• Products created with a custom product type in code, such as Dokan lottery products, keep their type instead of becoming simple products.
• Custom fields copied to translations that are keyed by variation, such as WoodMart's variation gallery, reach the translated product when the translation is delivered.
• Yoast SEO's product sitemap lists translated products with the category of their own language, so the addresses no longer redirect.
• HUSKY Products Filter: the language switcher links keep the filter in their language.

Fixes in Product Translation

• A product saved without a category is filed under the default product category of its own language, also when it is created through REST, WP-CLI, an import or the front end, or saved from an admin in another language.
• When the default product category changes, or a translation of it is added, each language with a translation of the new default uses that translation as its default, and languages without one keep their own.
• After "Synchronize product variations", translated variable products show the price range instead of an old single price.
• The product translation editor opens for products with a custom field that a plugin such as Bookings marks as holding several values.
• The product translation editor saves the translation of a custom field that a plugin such as Bookings marks as holding several values when the product has a single value.
• The product translation editor shows the original slug of a draft product.
• In a secondary language, the product editor's attribute search lists and finds attributes by their translated label.
• Translated variations stay purchasable when a custom attribute value contains "&" and the product is translated with the Advanced Translation Editor.
• The product translation editor shows and saves the description and translatable custom fields of the product's categories, tags and attribute terms.
• Translating a product that has reviews no longer creates duplicate tax class, stock and other copied fields on the translation.
• "Sort by price" and the price filter in secondary languages use the new price after you save variations or quick- or bulk-edit products on sale.
• A draft, pending or private product keeps its SKU unique, so another product can no longer be saved with the same SKU.
• The locked "Add Product" button of a translated bundle's Bundled Products panel shows one lock icon instead of two.
• "Fix relationships" in WooCommerce Multilingual's troubleshooting keeps a translated variation connected to its original.
• Payment gateway titles, descriptions and instructions reach String Translation as soon as the gateway's settings are saved or it is enabled on the Payments screen.
• With reviews shown in all languages, the WooCommerce blocks review list shows the reviews of every translation, like the product page.
• On a translated page, the Single Product block shows the translated product and its reviews.
• A product's translations keep "Hidden" and "featured" when its rating or stock changes.
• A product attribute base with a leading slash, such as /shop, is translated in links and rewrite rules.
• The shop archive keeps working after the rewrite rules are rebuilt during a secondary-language request.

Fixes in the Cart and Checkout

• No critical error when another plugin switches the currency in a request that has no cart, such as a REST request.
• With multicurrency, the checkout total follows every change of the selected shipping rate, including live rates from shipping plugins.
• On the payment page of a manual order, the language switcher keeps the pay form in the other languages.
• With a language per domain, the cart reset dialog shows on every language switch, not only the first.
• With products shown as translated with fallback, variations stay in the cart until the shopper answers the cart dialog on a language switch.
• The Keep and Switch back buttons of the cart's language switch dialog open the right addresses, also on sites in a subdirectory.
• The cart dialog on a language switch shows again when the shopper reloads or opens another page without answering it.
• In the cart, a variation with an "Any" attribute links to the product with the chosen value.

Other Fixes

• With Translate Everything on, creating the default product category or duplicating attribute terms no longer re-opens taxonomies for automatic translation.
• The product category shortcode lists the default-language products on translated pages when products use "display as translated".
• WPML's own bookkeeping data no longer counts as a product variation change.
• Product custom fields whose value only looks serialized are no longer emptied or cut short in translations.
• The plugin's translations are refreshed.
• The multicurrency documentation links, the email settings documentation link and the purchase link open the right wpml.org pages.
• The first install no longer creates stray "Uncategorized" categories or loses a language's default category when two admin pages load at once.
• On sites whose English is a regional variant such as en-us, WooCommerce strings without a language are treated as that English, so shop bases, email languages and attribute labels resolve correctly.
• WooCommerce Analytics → Products and its CSV export no longer count item quantities twice for some orders.
• Vendors made translators through the vendor integration get the translator role the same way as translators added in WPML.
• The currency switcher no longer runs a template.php file from the uploads folder.
• WooCommerce → Settings → Payments no longer shows the admin language switcher.
• A recount that finds no terms no longer leaves WPML's term filters off for the rest of the request.
• The setup wizard and WooCommerce's page tool restore a store page from the trash.
• On WordPress 7.2, numbered product slugs no longer log a deprecation notice.
• WooCommerce Multilingual works when WordPress loads it before WPML.
• WooCommerce Multilingual comes with the same Installer as WPML 5.3.0: a site key refused by an automatic check is kept and flagged until you refresh the license, a multisite subsite explains that the network uses one site key, and the expired-account banner can be closed.
• The Products list no longer ends in a fatal error when the All Products for WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin is active.
