WebToffee WooCommerce Gift Cards comes pre-translated into these languages:

• Arabic
• German
• Spanish
• French
• Italian
• Dutch

When you switch your site language to any of these, the plugin’s static content automatically displays in the chosen language. However, if you wish to:

• Add another language that isn’t in the list
• Update existing translations
• Translate dynamic text inside the plugin

you’ll need to use WPML’s translation tools to handle the rest (including any dynamic content on the gift card product pages).

This section covers how to translate the WebToffee WooCommerce Gift Cards plugin strings—either automatically with AI or manually.

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to WPML > Theme and Plugins Localization.
2. Scroll to Strings in themes, plugins, and WordPress.
3. Find WebToffee WooCommerce Gift Cards in the list and check its box.
4. Scroll down and click Scan selected components for strings. WPML will scan the plugin and add all available strings to the translation system.

Option A: Automatic Translation with AI

1. Go to WPML > Translation Management.
2. Clear any top-level filter so you can see all website strings.
3. Scroll down to Other texts (Strings) and, under the section filter, select wt-woocommerce-gift-cards.
4. Choose all the strings or the strings you wish to translate, then click Translate your content.

5. Under Translation settings, set Translate automatically as your translation method, choose a review option, and click Translate.

All selected strings are now translated into your chosen languages in one go using AI.

Option B: Manual Translation

1. Go to WPML > String Translation.
2. Under the filter, select wt-woocommerce-gift-cards and click Filter.

3. A list of all translatable strings from the plugin appears.
4. Find the string you want to translate/update and click the “+” icon under the relevant language column.

5. Enter your translation in the dialogue box.
6. Press Enter or click outside the box to save.

7. Repeat for any additional languages or strings as needed. Once done, all selected strings will be translated to the language chosen on switching the site language.

Translating gift card product pages usually involves:

1. Translating the product title and descriptions.
2. Translating dynamic content on the product page (such as headings, labels, or any custom text).

Any other static content on the page will be translated automatically if the plugin supports it, or while you translate the strings in the plugin.

1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to WPML > Translation Management.
2. Under Products, select the gift card products you need to translate.
3. Click Translate your content.

4. Under Translation settings, set Translate automatically as your translation method, choose a review option, and click Translate.

Once complete, translated versions of your gift card products (title and description) will be published in your store for all chosen languages.

If your gift card pages include dynamic text (such as headings, labels, or any custom text that can be edited), follow these steps:

1. After editing any dynamic content(such as gift card product page title), re-scan your plugin for strings using the method above (in WPML > Theme and Plugins Localization).
2. Go to WPML > String Translation.
3. Under the filter, select admin_texts_wt-woocommerce-gift-cards_gift_card and click Filter.
4. Select the strings you wish to translate and click Translate your content.

5. Choose Translate Automatically (or translate manually) as your method.
6. Click Translate.

That’s it—your dynamic content is now reflected in each target language.
