Translation
The built-in translation feature enables you to localize content for each market. By customizing text for specific regions, such as delivery timelines and shipping messages, you build trust and provide a clear, reliable experience for customers worldwide, enhancing your brand’s global presence.
Default language
Default language is the main language for all settings and rules. If you are setting up, creating, or modifying any rules, you need to do in Default language first.
Note that setting the language only determines how our system recognizes the language, not check what you actually type. For example, if you set the language to English but type in French, the system will still detect it as English.
To change Default language:
Go to Rule setup > Translation
Select Change default
Select a language and Save
If you save the default language as an existing language version, the current version will automatically become inactive.
Manage language version
You can add, edit, or activate language versions for your store’s content. Languages won’t be visible to customers until activated.
To add and edit a language version:
Go to Rule setup > Translation
At Manage language version section, click Add language
Select a language and click Add
Translate Estimate rule content: Add rules previously created to start editing
Enter the translated content in the right column for the target language. Only content fields existing in rule setup will be visible and editable.
If any translation field is left empty, the content will be displayed in the default language on store.
Edit Appearance content: Here you can translate content of timeline graphic.
Activate the language version: Once you’ve completed all translations, make sure to set it as Active so it becomes visible on the store.
Language detection method
This determines how our system will identify the store language or visitor location and switch to appropriate language version. You can choose 1 in 4 ways:
Shop locale (Recommended): Uses the location and language preference settings configured in Shopify to detect the store’s language. Note that shop locale code can be different from URL path.
IP Address: Detects the visitor’s location via IP address and adjusts the language to the primary language spoken in that location.
URL: Uses the URL path to determine the language. For example, if a URL contains “/de,” the language will be detected as German. Note that URL path can be different from shop locale code.
Browser language: Detects the language settings of the visitor’s browser and switches the content to match those settings.
