Translate through our easy-to-use platform!

If your language is not included in the plugin package, no worries, you can translate it on your own thanks to our platform. Go to translate.yithemes.com and just follow three simple steps:

Once you’re done with translating, you will be able to export your translation as a file that is ready to be uploaded into the languages folder of your plugin package and start using it immediately.

Don’t forget to change the language of your WordPress site from Settings > General > Language to make sure the translation shows up.

In the meantime, our Translation team will review your translation and once approved, it will be made available in the plugin package, so you will be able to always find it whenever you update the plugin!

So, let’s start from here: translate.yithemes.com and for a detailed guide on how to use our Translate platform, please, refer to this page.

Translate with Poedit

If you prefer translating using Poedit, a free translation editor software, you can consider this as an alternative option.

The original language file of the plugin is yith-woocommerce-ajax-navigation.pot and it is included in the "languages" folder of the plugin. If it does not include your own language you have to translate following these steps.

Download Poedit, the software through which you can translate the plugin text strings. Now open the file yith-woocommerce-ajax-navigation.pot and click on the "Create new translation" button.

Select the language in which you want to translate the plugin.

Now translate the strings one by one. Once finished, click on the "Save" button and rename the file adding the slug of the plugin to the suggested file name (e.g., yith-woocommerce-ajax-navigation-it_IT).

If everything worked fine, the .po and .mo files will be created automatically in the "languages" folder of the plugin.

Don’t forget to change the language of your WordPress site from Settings > General > Language to make sure the translation shows up.

Edit an existing translation

If you want to edit an existing translation, copy the .po file that you find in the plugin "Languages" file (plugin name > languages) and paste it into WordPress languages folder (wp-content > languages > plugins).

Edit the .po file and save the changes. This will generate the .mo file and you will be able to see your updated translation in your site.

If you worked on the .po file outside of the plugin folder, make sure you copy and paste also the .mo file that has been generated automatically after saving the changes in the .po file.

Getting started

To translate YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter with WPML, you need the WPML core plugin, as well as the WooCommerce Multilingual addon. To get both plugins, buy the WPML Multilingual CMS package.

If you’re new to WPML, check out its getting started guide to learn how it works before following this tutorial.

Translating YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter

To translate texts in the YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter with WPML, go to WPML → Translation Management and scroll down to the Other texts (Strings) section. There, search for any texts related to YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter that appear on your website and select them.

If you don’t see some of your texts, go to your website, navigate to the page with your missing texts, and switch languages. As you view the page, WPML will automatically detect the missing texts and populate them in the strings section.

Once you select all your strings, the next step is to choose your translation method. With WPML, you can translate by yourself, automatically using machine translation or with professional translation services.

To get the best translations, while spending just a few minutes, we recommend using WPML AI, WPML's most advanced translation engine powered by ChatGPT.

Once you send your content for translation, go to WPML → Translations to review your automatic translations, or manually translate them yourself.

Your translations will appear on your website once you click Complete Translation. To view them, go to the page you just translated and switch languages.

How to translate a preset with WPML

Firstly, make sure your shop has been correctly translated and all translations have been assigned to products, categories, tags, and attributes using the following WPML plugins:

  • WPML Multilingual CMS
  • WPML String Translations
  • WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency

Then, after configuring your filter preset in your language and adding the shortcode or block to the page you want to filter, for example, the Shop page, you need to translate the preset. This is essential for users visiting your shop in a language that is not the default one to see the filters.

Now, to translate the preset, go to WordPress > YITH > Ajax Product Filter > Filter Presets and edit the preset you want to translate.

At the bottom of the preset, you will find a set of options to translate it:

The options are the same as you would find for any post.
In the following example, we create a duplicate translation from the original preset:

Duplicate translation
Translation duplicated

At this point, you can edit the translation of the preset.

Edit the preset translation


Please note that the terms selected for the preset in the default language will not be selected for the translation too, so it might be necessary to re-populate some filters.

After that, the filter preset will show on the shop page (regardless of the language), and users will be able to properly filter the products.
