Multilingual store & translations

A store that speaks your customers' languages: translations set up in the admin, language URLs that search engines understand, and a switcher shoppers can find.

What's included

  • Shopify Translate & Adapt, or a translation app such as Weglot or Langify, set up
  • Translated theme text, products, collections and SEO fields
  • Language URLs and hreflang that list only real language versions
  • A language switcher in the header or footer
  • WPML on WooCommerce for products, menus and SEO fields
  • Machine translations checked, and multilingual content generation

Sounds familiar?

  • Pages are half translated, with theme text still in English.
  • Search engines show the wrong language version of a page.
  • Machine translations read badly and nobody has checked them.
  • Adding a new product means translating it by hand in every language.

Questions

Which tool should translate my store?

On Shopify, Translate & Adapt is a good start, and an app such as Weglot or Langify helps when you need more control. On WooCommerce I use WPML, which handles products, collections, menus and SEO fields together.

How many languages can one store run?

Many. The Organic Labs runs its content in 20 languages from one Shopify store, and a US store chain runs 21 languages on WooCommerce with WPML.

Are machine translations good enough?

They are a fast first draft. Product terms, sizing and checkout wording still need checking before they go live.
