Basic setup #
Required #
Document language setting #
Once TranslatePress is installed and has been activated, it will be indicated in our plugin’s settings at WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > Pro.
Next, navigate to WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > Pro, then scroll down to Document language.
Document language should be set to Order/customer language, unless you are trying to force the PDF to a specific language.
Multilingual settings #
The languages set in TranslatePress will determine the multilingual tabs in the settings. From the TranslatePress settings below, the available languages are:
- English
- Spanish
This will set which language columns appear for compatible settings, making them multilingual, as shown below.
Shop Logo #
- Path: WooCommerce > PDF Invoices > General
Since this adds the ability to set a different shop logo per language (language locale), it becomes possible to add the same shop logo – with different text, to truly reach a multilingual shop feeling.

Set order language manually #
Path: WooCommerce > Orders, then select an order or create a new order. Then scroll down to the ‘Custom Fields‘ section.
You will need to do so by creating the wcpdf_trp_language custom field and adding the language code as its value (like ‘en-US‘). Users will now receive their documents in this language, if the Document language setting is set to ‘Order/Customer language‘.
This could be done at the time of order, but it also could be done afterwards. Modifying the custom field value will just change the TranslatePress order language of the order.
Not to be confused with the trp_language custom field, which would help you remember the original language of the order. It will not set the document language however.
String Translation #
Please use Loco Translate to modify the individual strings to your liking. Strings in this context are what we think of as words that can be translated.
