This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

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

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

It is possible if you are using manual translation in WPML and adding translation like that. If you are using automatic translation it depends on the translation engine you are using, please check next:

Hi, Dražen.

Thank you for your answer.
First thing we need is to translate All the Woocommerce strings from English to Serbian latin. I have use this for other languages but not for Serbian Latin. Is this available in your translation resources from commuity?

Second, is to translate 13.000 products imported from vendors automatically.
From the link you provided, I see that this is only possible with Microsoft Translator. Is this correct?

Hello,
My name is Carlos and I will continue working on this ticket.

1.- We don't have translations of plugins like Woocommerce, these translations come from the WordPress community as you can see here: hidden link

If Serbian Latin is among the translations in the link I shared, the translations will be automatically downloaded once you activate the Serbian Latin language on your site.

In the case that there is no translation for Serbian Latin, then you will need to translate the strings using WPML -> String Translation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/

2.- Yes, correct. Only the Microsoft translation engine supports Serbian Latin for automatic translation.

Regards,
Carlos

Hello Carlos.
Thank you for the answer.
I saw that you have community translation in Serbian Cyrillic. Is there a project to offer Serbian Latin? As Cyrilliy is the county official letter, the webshop are 90% in Serbian Latin.
Or if you or dražen know some other third-party service to change from Cyrillic to Latin?

Hi,

I can't find a translation to Serbian Latin. In this case, you will need to translate the Woocommerce strings using String Translation, as described in our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/
