# How to Translate ReviewX with WPML and Polylang

If you run a multilingual WooCommerce store using **WPML** (WordPress Multilingual) or **Polylang**, ReviewX integrates smoothly with their string translation and multilingual product architectures. Customers in different countries can view review summaries, read verified customer feedback, and submit new reviews in their active browsing language.

## Translating ReviewX with WPML

### Step 1: Scan ReviewX for Strings

1. Ensure both **WPML Multilingual CMS** and **WPML String Translation** add-ons are installed and active.
2. In your WordPress dashboard, go to **WPML → Theme and plugins localization**.
3. Scroll down to the **Strings in the plugins** section, locate **ReviewX**, and check the checkbox beside it.
4. Click **Scan selected plugins for strings**. WPML will register all gettext strings under the `reviewx` text domain.

### Step 2: Translate Strings in WPML String Translation

1. Go to **WPML → String Translation**.
2. In the **In domain** dropdown, select `reviewx`.
3. Search for user-facing strings such as `Write a review`, `Verified Owner`, `Recommendation`, or `Helpful`.
4. Click the **Translations** link next to any string, enter the translation for each active language, check **Translation is complete**, and click **Save**.

### Step 3: Translating Multi-Criteria & Product Reviews

- **Criteria Titles:** Custom criteria names (e.g. "Quality", "Size") configured in ReviewX admin are translatable through WPML String Translation under the `admin_texts_rvx_settings` context.
- **Product Synchronization:** When translating a WooCommerce product with WPML WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML), ReviewX automatically associates reviews with the canonical product group or displays reviews per language according to your WCML review display preferences.

## Translating ReviewX with Polylang

If you use **Polylang** or **Polylang for WooCommerce**:

1. Go to **Languages → Translations** in your WordPress admin.
2. Filter strings by the `reviewx` group.
3. Enter the translated text for each storefront label across your configured language columns.
4. Click **Save Changes**.

**Multi-Currency Note:** ReviewX review discount coupons generated through automated email sequences respect the active currency and checkout rules established by WPML multi-currency and WooCommerce Multilingual.
