Announcing the WPML Compatibility for WooCommerce Extra Fees Plugin

After working on the latest updates for our WooCommerce Extra Fees Plugin, we are happy to state that it is now 100% WPML compatible. The WPML Plugin is the go-to solution to make your site multi-lingual.

Used by over 10,00,000+ sites globally, WPML allows you to translate your store in more than 45+ languages. This means you can add variants for local languages like Canadian French or Mexican Spanish too. The benefit? You get to reach your audience across multiple demographics and geographies.

The integration with WPML automatically adds to Multilingual content setup admin page all custom fields used by the plugin as “copy from original to translation”. This implies you don’t have to worry about manually running the plugin in a multilingual site build with WPML.

Most importantly, the WPML Team has tested and passed out the plugin as being 100% translation-ready

Benefits of WPML Compatibility with WooCommerce Extra Fees Plugin

As a store owner, if you want to expand beyond your present geographical boundary, you need to connect with people. And, what better way than talking to them in their native language.

WPML compatibility ensures that you translate content on your WooCommerce Store and display the conditional fees, discounts etc. in specific languages of your choice.

This essentially means you get complete freedom in selecting languages and creating translations and ultimately improving conversions.

WPML Compatibility also offers default WooCommerce Multilingual capability. What does this imply for you? Well, you can sell products in multiple currencies, irrespective of your store’s language. At the front-end, visitors can switch between currencies just like they can switch languages. This is particularly helpful when you have to get certain products in specific languages to be ordered in a specific currency.

Reasons for choosing WPML Plugin for multilingual compatibility

Right from support for over 45+ languages to its ease of use, WPML Plugin is a perfect choice if you want a multilingual WooCommerce Store today. Here’s why we selected this plugin –

  1. Its intuitive interface lets you manage translations like a breeze. All it takes is a few minutes to make your store compatible with local languages.
  2. Since 2007, the WPML plugin has been used in 10,00,000+ sites globally. That makes it a reliable solution for ensuring your multilingual presence.
  3. Seamlessly integrates with both WordPress & WooCommerce.
  4. Perhaps its biggest benefit lies in multilingual SEO. What this essentially means is that you can easily search engine optimize content for local languages to ensure higher rankings. Besides, being compatible with popular SEO plugins like Yoast SEO, WPML also offers a set of features to optimize home pages, internal pages, and even product categories.
  5. You can save time because the plugin automates tasks like translating URLs, establishing multilingual database structures for websites etc. Since all pages are stored in the same database in the same WP installation as against multiple installs, you save a lot of headaches for your time as well. Manage all your content/translations from one place.

Also, Automatic translation for strings is a feature in WPML that allows you to automatically translate text strings, phrases, and labels used throughout your website. This includes your core content and elements generated by plugins and themes, such as those from the Extra Fee plugin. Rather than manually translating each string, WPML can take care of this.
