Open wp-config.php and modify the line below, or add it if it is missing.
define ('WPLANG','it_IT')
Language pack will be downloadable from your dashboard if you have WPLANG constant set.
If translation packs install fails, you can force the download in WooCommerce > System Status > Tools > Force Translation Upgrade.
PO and MO files will be downloaded in wp-content/languages/woocommerce.

define (‘WPLANG’,’it_IT’) is already set in wp-config.php
I just click on Force translation upgrade and I get this error message:
Failed to install/update the translation: Sorry but there is no translation available for your language =/
Is there a way to update po and mo file manually? Where can I download the official ones?
Btw, after Wp v4.0, the language packs / localization / translation etc management is changed a bit. In a few other related posts, I find out that it is mentioned as:
define('WPLANG', 'it_IT');
is no longer supported in wp-config.
As seen from the Codex,
http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language
it is signed as (for 3.9.2 and below)
For language selection, it is adviced to add:
$locale='it_IT';
into wp-config instead.
or as mentioned in the Codex,
select it inside the Dashboard.
WordPress v4 and above
Change the language in the admin settings screen.
Settings > General > Site Language.

hi,
I have added $locale='it_IT'; but nothing’s changed…
The language of my blog is italian but the plugin use again the english language, and I don’t know the reason.
what’s this:
https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce-language-packs
?? In language folder isn’t present .po and .mo file, how to download?
UPDATE: I managed to download the file and have this name:
for_use_woocommerce-admin-pot_it_IT
I’ve renamed: woocommerce-admin-pot_it_IT
but the plugin is still in English and absolutely do not understand why.
I have included the files within the folder i18n / languages
First of all, the language files are not in the “languages” directory,
they are in the “packages” directory, zipped.
And your renaming is also wrong. The language files must be as:
woocommerce-admin-tr_TR.mo
woocommerce-admin-tr_TR.po
woocommerce-tr_TR.mo
woocommerce-tr_TR.po
These are my usage for Turkish languge.
and the language directory is also change with v2.2;
they must be located in an upper level directory,
not inside the
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/i18n/languages/…
but in
wp-content/languages/plugins/…
That *.pot files within the Woocommerce are for localization purposes.
I have the same problem with the language file.
Have tried to add this to wp-config
$locale=’is_IS’;
and put language files in the wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce
and have tested to add it to wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/i18n/languages/
nothing works.
This is my file names
woocommerce-admin-is_IS.po and .mo and
woocommerce-is_IS.po and .mo
The Icelandic work to the admin part, but not on the frontend, always have myaccount, cart, logout, checkout on english.
This is very annoying, this was terrible update 🙁
do we have to stop using woocommerce?
@mundi75,
if you look at the languages list at:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/woocommerce/
ICELANDIC (ICELAND) (is_IS)
is marked as
%76 translated,
%52 approved,
793 strings are not translated yet…
Maybe your problem is that unfinished parts!
I have downloaded this files and I´m using it, and if I take a look of it all things with cart, my account and logout with poedit, this has been translated, but it don’t show up on my page. This is not working good after your update.
Is this the right place for the files.
wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce?
and should the file names be
woocommerce-admin-is_IS.po and .mo? and
woocommerce-is_IS.po and .mo?
If thats right then this is strange. I have also try some useless information about downloading some translation plugin, and force translation upgrate, then I just get error.
I don’t like this.
First of all, I must say that I myself also use Woocommerce in another language, other than English I mean.
So as to speak for my language, the translation files listed as 100%.
I downloaded those files, and I use them myself; they work as they has to be.
The localization files are now changed; located in a new/upper level directory, not inside the woocommerce directory anymore.
The new directory is:
wp-content/languages/plugins/
so the files are located as:
wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-admin-xx_XX.mo
wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-admin-xx_XX.poo
wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-xx_XX.mo
wp-content/languages/plugins/woocommerce-xx_XX.mo
Btw, “displaying” these settings on the front-end can be a “Theme issue”, sometimes misunderstood the non-translated theme outputs with plugin outputs.
I don’t have any clue about your settings, but from my own experiences I know that sometimes theme developers missed some strings untranslatable etc.
btw, which theme are you using?
If it is not a live site, try your tests on default themes, or if you can handle just configure a test environment locally for only checking the “localization” issues.
My solution was simple. In wp_options table was WPLANG – cs_cz. Correct is cs_CZ.

Thank you Musilda, Yes that was the case for me too de_DE_formal instead of just de_DE.
