Is the checkout page automatically translated in foreign languages?

    On my WordPress site, I have WooCommerce, LocoTranslate and PolyLang all installed.

    Currently my WordPress site is in many different language as I have provided PolyLang with different translations of each page.

    However will the WooCommerce checkout page automatically detect the right language and display alternative translations as appropriate or do I have to do something explicitly?

    How can I see the WooCommerce checkout page in French, German, Italian etc. as I only have the English version of web browsers on my computer and my regional code is set to US English?

    Under Settings->General there is an option called “Default customer location”. It can be set to “no location”, “shop region/country”, “geolocate” or “geolocate with page caching support”.

    If I change the option to “geolocate” will this mean the checkout page will automatically be translated into the correct langauge for the customer?

    Is there a cookie I can set to automatically change the WooCommerce checkout page from say English to French? Or is the Woocommernce checkout page language set to the WordPress langauge?

    Hey there, @marisa2023! Thanks for contacting us. I’m happy to help you.

    The geolocate option will automatically switch some things on the website depending on how you set it up.

    But since the translation of the website is set with third-party plugins, I suggest reaching out to their support to check if the geolocate option also works with their plugin and to make sure it is set up correctly 🙂

    Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help or if you have any questions.

    Have a wonderful day!
