Setup automatic currency and theme translation

Hello team,

May I ask for detailed instructions on how to setup the following points:

1. Automatically detect currency based on user location / IP.

2. Possibility for user to switch currency in the Theme header.

3. Theme translation: what is the difference between the build in translation (https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/theme-translation/) and WPML translation (https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/how-to-make-woodmart-multilingual-with-wpml/).
Ideally, I need the whole website to be translated, including product and category pages.

4.

Hello,

1. Currency is the Woocommerce functionality, and WoodMart does not provide any option to change currency somehow. You will need to search for a plugin for this purpose.

You can try this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-currency-switcher/

Or you can use the built-in currency switcher from WPML – https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/

2. You can take the shortcode for the currency switcher and insert it in the Text/HTML block in the Header builder.

3. WPML is a multilingual plugin which means you can translate the site for different languages. Another translation is via the .mo and .po files, which means you can translate the site to 1 language only.

Kind Regards

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the comments!

We tried placing the currency switcher shortcode in the header menu via Text/HTML element and it works only half way:

1. Once a new currency is selected, the dropdown is not always refreshed to show the new currency. How can this be fixed?

Notes:
– The currency in the built-in cart element is successfully changed after new currency is selected. We need the same for the currency dropdown.
– If we open developer tools, the currency dropdown is refreshed most of the time (not always though).
– We are not using WPML only the standalone WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency plugin.

Here is the functions.php code for the currency switcher:

function custom_currency_switcher_shortcode() {
    ob_start();   
	do_action('wcml_currency_switcher', array('format' => '%symbol%'));
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('currency_switcher', 'custom_currency_switcher_shortcode');

We placed this shortcode [currency_switcher] in a Text/HTML element in the Header.
