How do I add another language to my storefront?
Store Settings → Languages lets you add languages your storefront displays in and set which one customers see by default.
Steps
- Go to Store Settings → Languages.
- Click Add Language, then Choose language from the list — a translation app is installed automatically to help translate your content.
- Note that all content — including store and theme content — requires translation for the language you add; it won't appear fully translated instantly.
- Under Added Languages, see each language with its Added On date and available Actions.
- To change which language visitors see by default (when their preferred language isn't available), use Change Default Language, pick from Choose language, and Save changes.
- To remove a language, delete it — you'll be asked to confirm, since this removes all translations for that language.
Common problems
- New language doesn't show translated content on the storefrontadding a language only enables it; you (or the installed translation app) still need to fill in translations for products, pages, and theme text.
- Accidentally deleted a languagedeletion removes all its translations and can't be undone; you'll need to re-add the language and retranslate content.
- Customers still see the wrong languagecheck Default language; visitors whose browser language isn't among your added languages will always see the default.
