ShopEngine is a WooCommerce plugin that allows you to leverage all the advanced eCommerce features on your website with the most flexibility. 

ShopEngine’s integration with WPML gives you the opportunity to build WooCommerce multi-language websites. ShopEngine is compatible with WPML String Translation which allows you to translate plugin strings; texts that are not in posts, pages, and taxonomy.
