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
AI Processing configuration for WooCommerce product import - Product Name field with OpenAI GPT prompt setup

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:

  • OpenAI for product names
  • Gemini for descriptions (faster, cheaper)
  • Claude for long-form content

    • 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)
