# How to have the date picker in another language

# How to have the date picker in another language

Display the widget in your store's main language, or in multiple languages for multi-market stores — building trust and reducing cart abandonment.

|| Translating into one main language (auto-translate) requires the **Essential** plan or above. Showing **multiple** languages at once requires the **Smart** plan or above.



## Overview

There are two scenarios: show the widget in a single non-English language, or serve several languages that switch automatically with the customer's Shopify locale.

|| Translating doesn't change your scheduling rules — only the text customers see.



## Before you start

* For multiple languages, the target languages are enabled in your Shopify store languages.



## Scenario 1 — One main language

Display the date picker in your main language (German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, …).

### How to set it up

1. Go to **Widget settings → Design → Text fields**.
2. Choose the language to translate English into, then click **Auto translate**. This becomes your default date picker language.

## Scenario 2 — Multiple languages

Ideal for stores serving several markets.

### How to set it up

1. Go to **Translation → Add language**.
2. Add the language — DingDoong auto-translates the date picker content. Review or edit via **Edit content**.
3. **Publish** the translation.

|| DingDoong picks the display language from the **Shopify language locale**, so the target language must be enabled in your Shopify store languages.



## How it looks on the storefront

When a customer selects Chinese, the picker shows in Chinese; when they select English, it shows in English — automatically.

## Common scenarios

### Single-market non-English store

Use Scenario 1 — auto-translate into your one language.

### Multi-market store

Use Scenario 2 — add each market's language; the widget follows the customer's locale.

### Tweak a machine translation

After auto-translating, use **Edit content** to refine wording.



## Configuration options

| Option | Description | Plan |
| ---- |
| Auto translate (Text fields) | Translate into one main language | Essential+ |
| Add / manage languages (Translation) | Multiple languages, locale-based | Smart+ |
| Edit content | Manually refine translations | — |



## Tips & Best practices

|| Always review auto-translations for key labels (buttons, errors) — machine translation is a great starting point but benefits from a quick human check.

| Make sure each language is enabled in Shopify first, or the locale won't trigger the translated widget.



## Troubleshooting

### The widget shows the wrong language?

DingDoong follows the Shopify locale. Confirm the language is enabled in Shopify and the translation is published.

### Auto translate is disabled?

It requires Essential+. Managing multiple languages requires Smart+.



## FAQ

### How do I revert to English?

Set your main language back to English in Text fields, or unpublish added languages.

### Can I edit individual phrases?

Yes — use **Edit content** on the language.
