    These two plug-ins look like they might do the trick (not affiliate links):

    WordPress › WooCommerce Multilingual - run WooCommerce with WPML « WordPress Plugins

    I haven't used them myself, so usual exclusions apply .

    I didn't use it with ecommerce tehemes/plugins/setup... but for creating multilingual WP sites the (not free!) WPML plugin is excellent!

      I want to use dollar and euro currency, does WordPress use the currency correspond to the user's country ip or is there another plug in for that?

    That's one possible solution but not always the most reliable.

    Forget asking for a plugin for every dumb idea... try to use your own brain deciding what is it exactly what you need!

    Questions to clarify with yourself:
    - is my site going to be bilingual? in other words:
    - will I have the same product/content in two different languages?
    - or I just want the same language and text but the prices in different currency?
    - which langauges/countrie are my target audiences?

    Then why do you want to force it in one single site? If they would see completely different products - just make 2 sites... there is no reason to waste time with the "sections".

      You could do it this way:


      Register the .com, .com.au and .co.uk versions of your domain name. Have the Australian stuff on the .com.au version of the site, and the British stuff on the .co.uk version. On the .com site just have a doorway page where people can select the UK or AU version.


      BTW, if you're targeting the UK, why do you want processing in Euros?

    my mistake, i meant pounds, thats a good idea and i thought about doing that but id rather have it all under one domain so its easier to handle and cheaper

    OK, have a sub-directory for each country, then. http://uk.yourdomain.com for the UK and oz.yourdomain.com for Australia.
