Overview #

If you want to use the WPML functionality for your eCommerce store, this Booster plugin can enable it for you. Use translation product IDs with the Booster shortcode “wcj_wpml”  in order to add language-specific data to your pages.

For example, if you want to add descriptions in 3 languages on your product pages and show the description that is suitable as per the user’s language selection, that is totally doable with the help of the Booster WPML Plugin.

The plugin will also help you edit the WPML settings for your WooCommerce. With it, you can enable auto-switching of currency by store language, as well as the auto-synchronization of the product meta among languages. Besides all these, you can:

• Automatically Regenerate wpml-config file on Booster Version Update;
• Skip plugins or Option IDs from WPML configuration.
• Manually regenerate the wpml-config file as per the Booster WPML settings.

[wcj_wpml lang=”DE”]Dieser Shop verwendet die deutsche Sprache![/wcj_wpml]

[wcj_wpml lang=”EN”]This store uses the English Language![/wcj_wpml]
