Changing the language of your store (Translation)
Whether you want to translate a language version or your main store into another language – Follow these few simple steps.
Elements you can translate
- Theme
- Navigation
- Products descriptions, categories, collection, etc.
- Translation of variants and parameters
How to translate a theme
Go to ‘Layout’ > Click on the three dots > Click on ‘Translations’
Add a translation or edit the existing ones.
Then change the active language. Select the language that should be active and save the changes.
How to translate the navigation
Go to ‘Layout’ > Click on ‘Navigation’ > You can edit each page
How to translate product descriptions and categories
You can also translate your product descriptions. Go to Products > Select a product > Click on ‘Details’> Translate the product description
Translation of variants and parameters
If you have products in different variants, such as different colours, sizes, then in the language version they should be translated.
Be sure not to delete or add new products – this will cause future bugs, for example when using Shared Stock to synchronize inventory.
Click on the product you want to translate > Go to ‘Variants’> Click on ‘Edit’
Then click on the three dots > and click on ‘Manage Variants’.
Change the parameter name and click on ‘Save changes’.
Once saved, make sure you have the correct amount of variants. If you do not need some of them, just select them and delete them.
Then on the same section (Product > Variants), at the top of the page click on ‘Quick Edit’.
There you can translate all parameters and then click on ‘Save changes’.
