Polylang WooCommerce

Polylang for WooCommerce is an official add-on designed for store owners, digital agencies, and e-commerce managers who want to extend their WordPress store into global markets. Functioning alongside Polylang Pro or the free core plugin, it seamlessly translates store pages (Shop, Cart, Checkout, My Account) and products while keeping inventory, pricing, SKUs, and variations synchronized across all languages. Engineered with zero extra database tables, it avoids performance bloat and supports High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) to keep transactional operations fast. The plugin also translates automated customer emails, order notifications, attributes, and categories, giving international shoppers a completely localized shopping experience from product discovery to checkout.
