What you will need
Make sure you have the Product Import Export plugin with version 1.1.9 or above and a recent version of WPML (version 3.5.3.1 or above)
Getting Started and What to Check
Is your site already configured by your developer?
We simply recommend you to make sure the following plugins and options are activated.
Are you setting up WPML yourself?
Then you need to follow the steps below.
- Set up WPML from WPML -> Languages. See our WPML Getting Started Guide for a complete reference. The initial, simple three-step setup is self-explanatory, asking you to choose your default language, a set of active languages, and a language selector. (For starters, choose the footer language selector; you can change this later.)
- Install and activate the core WPML plugins first, followed by other WPML plugins that may depend on them.
- Install the Product Import Export Plugin for WooCommerce and activate it. You can refer to the plugin documentation on how to install and set up the plugin.
How to Change the Plugin Output with WPML
1 – Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard. Here, we have configured English as the default language and German as the secondary language.
2 – There are a total of 6 products added to the store. 3 of which are in English and 3 of which are in German.
3 – The flag on the toolbar indicates the current language of the products displayed. When listing English products the flag on the toolbar looks like this.
4 – When Listing German Products
5 – When you export products of all languages in the store, The exported CSV file has all the 6 products.
6 – You can export products that belong to a particular language. For example, When the admin is in German, and you export products, you can export all and only the products that are in German. For exporting, go to WooCommerce > Product Im-Ex
7 – Here is the exported CSV for the German language.

More information about the technical implementation would be great here. You can import the products using csv but there is no language option. How do you import the products in the various languages (automatically using one of the options in the settings)?
