We are glad to announce that the Flexible Shipping plugin was widely tested and officially recognized as WPML compatible. This means that you can use the full functionality of the plugin to set any shipping cost based on multiple conditions in stores using multiple languages and currencies. All of our plugins for displaying live rates are also WPML compatible.

Just a few weeks ago, we released the Flexible Shipping plugin version 4.4.0, which improved compatibility with the WPML plugin. Now we can announce that it has been tested and officially recognized as WPML compatible. This way we can ensure that the plugins work properly, and allow you to use their full functionality. This is especially useful for WooCommerce stores shipping to many countries, with multi-currency and many language versions.

Using the WPML plugin, you can translate shipping methods and messages from the Flexible Shipping plugin, and convert shipping costs to selected currencies. The combined operation of both plugins extends the capabilities of Flexible Shipping which allows you to calculate the cost of shipping based on many conditions such as weight, price, volume over many more.
