Successful WoodMart translation update in WordPress.
WordPress confirms when the WoodMart translation has been updated.

Downloaded files are stored in wp-content/languages/themes using names such as woodmart-LOCALE.po, woodmart-LOCALE.mo, and woodmart-LOCALE.l10n.php.

Update translations

After updating WoodMart, open Dashboard -> Updates, click Check again, and then click Update Translations when a new language pack is available.

Warning
Updating predefined translations replaces WoodMart translation files stored in wp-content/languages/themes. Back up any manual changes before updating. To customize translated strings safely, use Loco Translate and store the custom translation in wp-content/languages/loco/themes.

For instructions on creating or modifying a custom translation, see Translate with Loco Translate plugin. Do not store custom translation files in wp-content/themes/woodmart/languages, because theme updates replace that directory.

Check installed translations

Navigate to Dashboard -> WoodMart -> Tools -> Status to see the installed language locales and the WoodMart translation version.

Installed languages and translations version on the WoodMart Status page.
Installed language locales and the current translation version.

Reset translations

If a predefined translation is missing or no longer works correctly, open Dashboard -> WoodMart -> Tools -> Status and click Reset translations. The link is available only after a predefined WoodMart translation has been installed.

This action deletes the installed predefined WoodMart .po, .mo, and .l10n.php files from wp-content/languages/themes and clears the stored list of installed languages and translation version.

After resetting, return to Dashboard -> Updates, click Check again, and then click Update Translations to download fresh language packs.
