Yes, there are free WordPress translation plugins that support WooCommerce. Here are some options:
TranslatePress
**TranslatePress is a popular choice for translating WooCommerce sites. It offers a free version that allows you to translate your entire site, including WooCommerce content, without any word limits. This plugin provides a visual editor where you can translate content directly from the front end, making it easy to manage translations for WooCommerce products, menus, and other elements. TranslatePress also integrates with Google Translate for automatic translations, which you can then manually edit for accuracy[1][2][5].
The free version of TranslatePress supports up to two languages, and while it lacks some advanced features available in the premium version, it is sufficient for creating a basic multilingual WooCommerce store. It also supports multilingual SEO, ensuring that your translated pages are properly indexed by search engines[4][5].
Loco Translate
**Loco Translate is another plugin that can be used to translate WooCommerce, though it works differently from TranslatePress. Instead of a visual front-end editor, Loco Translate allows you to create and manage translation files (.po and .mo files) directly within WordPress. This plugin is ideal for creating custom translations for WooCommerce and other plugins. While it doesn't offer automatic translation integration like TranslatePress, it provides a robust way to manage translations manually[3].
Loco Translate is particularly useful for translating specific strings or phrases within WooCommerce and is free to use. However, it requires more technical knowledge compared to TranslatePress, as you need to work with translation files directly.
Polylang
**Polylang also offers a free version that allows for basic translations. While it is not as straightforward for WooCommerce as TranslatePress, Polylang can still be used to create multilingual sites. However, it might require more setup and configuration compared to TranslatePress, especially for WooCommerce integration[6].
In summary, if you're looking for a straightforward and user-friendly solution specifically for WooCommerce, TranslatePress is a strong choice. For more manual control over translations, Loco Translate is a viable option. Polylang can also be used but may require more setup for WooCommerce support.
