The Solution: AI Context-Aware Translation + PHP Automation
Here’s the breakthrough: What if every product field could be automatically transformed during import—before it even hits your WooCommerce database?
With Bootflow Product Importer PRO, you can:
✅ Translate descriptions from any language to any language
✅ Rewrite product names to be SEO-friendly
✅ Clean HTML tags and formatting issues
✅ Extract key information from messy data
✅ Chain AI transformations with PHP formulas for ultimate control
And here’s the game-changer: The AI knows the full product context before processing any field.
Why Context-Aware AI Beats Google Translate
When traditional tools translate product descriptions, they work in isolation. Google Translate sees:
“Vogels TVA2041”
Bootflow’s AI sees:
Product Name: Vogels TVA2041
Category: TV holder
Brand: Vogels
Price: €4.80
EAN: 8806095048901
Ai promt: Write a seo friendly product name include price
Result: Affordable Vogels TVA2041 TV Mount Bracket – Only 4.80€
Translation + SEO Optimization
Translate to English, make SEO-friendly for US market, remove supplier brand mentions, add urgency (limited stock), max 500 characters.
Use case: B2B wholesale data → B2C retail store
Before: “Hersteller Referenz: Hochwertige Lederjacke für Business”
After: “Premium Business Leather Jacket – Limited Stock – Professional Style for Modern Executives”
Extract and Clean
Extract the product name from this messy text and remove any codes or technical jargon. Make it customer-friendly.
Use case: Supplier part numbers → readable names
Before: “ABC-DEF-12345 Herren Lederjacke Schwarz XL Echtleder Premium”
After: “Men’s Black Genuine Leather Jacket – Premium”
Multi-Language Support
Translate to French or any language for European customers. Use formal tone. Include product benefits. Remove any pricing references.
Use case: Same XML → multiple WooCommerce stores in different languages
Step-by-Step: PHP Formula Transformations
Sometimes you don’t need AI—you just need math, text manipulation, or simple logic. That’s where PHP formulas shine.
PHP Formula Examples: Copy-Paste Ready
Trim to SEO Length
substr($value, 0, 70)
Use case: Limit product names to 70 characters for Google search results
Input: “Professional Wireless Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting and Programmable Buttons for Competitive Gaming”
Output: “Professional Wireless Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting and Programma”
💡 For price markup (VAT, margins), use the built-in Price Markup UI instead of formulas—it’s more flexible and supports percentage/fixed amounts.
Uppercase First Letters
ucwords(strtolower($value))
Use case: Fix inconsistent capitalization from supplier feeds
Input: “SAMSUNG GALAXY s24 ULTRA”
Output: “Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra”
💡 For shipping class assignment, use the built-in Shipping Class Rules UI—it supports category-based and weight-based automation without PHP.
Clean HTML Tags
strip_tags($value)
Use case: Remove all HTML from descriptions
Input: <h1><p>Great product!</p></h1>
Output: Great product!
The Ultimate Weapon: Hybrid Mode (AI → PHP)
Here’s where things get really powerful. You can chain AI transformation with PHP formula for ultimate flexibility.
How Hybrid Mode Works
Step 1: AI processes the field
↓
Step 2: AI result goes to PHP formula
↓
Step 3: Final value saved to WooCommerce
Hybrid Examples
Example 1: Translate + Character Limit
AI Prompt:
Translate this product description to French and make it engaging.
PHP Formula:
substr(strip_tags($value), 0, 160)
Result:
French SEO meta description, exactly 160 characters (perfect for Google snippets).
Example 3: SEO Title + Length Limit
AI Prompt:
Create an SEO-optimized product title. Include brand, model, and key feature.
PHP Formula:
strlen($value) > 70 ? substr($value, 0, 67) . ‘…’ : $value
Result: SEO-perfect title, always under 70 characters (Google’s display limit).
AI Providers to Choose From
Never be locked into one vendor:
1. OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini) – Best for English, proven quality
2. Google Gemini (Gemini 2.0 Flash) – Fast, multilingual, free tier available
3. Anthropic Claude – Best for long descriptions, nuanced tone
Switch providers per field if you want:
Live Preview Before Import
Never guess. Every AI transformation can be tested before running the full import.
1. Click “Test AI” button
2. See instant before/after comparison
3. Adjust prompt if needed
4. Run import with confidence
No surprises. No wasted imports. No regrets.
Common Question
Q: Do I need coding skills?
A: No. AI prompts are plain English or any language. PHP formulas are optional—use them only if you need calculations or text manipulation.
Beginner-friendly example:
Translate this to Spanish
Advanced example (still readable):
round($value * 1.25, 2)
