WooCommerce comes localization ready out of the box – all that’s
needed is your translation, if the plugin does not come bundled with one
for your language.
There are several methods to create a translation, most of which are outlined in the WordPress Codex. However, we find the easiest method is to use a plugin called Loco Translate. More advanced users can use PoEdit. Both methods are covered in this doc.
If for some reason the translation packs install fails, you can force the download in WooCommerce > System Status > Tools > Force Translation Upgrade:
PO and MO files are copied in wp-content/languages/woocommerce/
