When you enable multi language for your store, the storefront, checkout and cart, and emails are translated. Enabling multi language for your store can help make your store accessible to more shoppers. It can also help benefit SEO by creating more original content and contributing to a greater exposure of the site on search engines.
Note
Native store does not support multi currency, meaning you cannot assign different prices or currencies for each language.
To manage store translations:
-
If you have not already, enable the desired language(s) for your site using the instructions in the Add and Manage Multiple Languages article. It is recommended that you enable the Google Translate toggle, this ensures existing and new store content is translated automatically.
-
In the side panel, click Sell Online.
-
Click Store Languages.
-
On the Store Languages page, the default language is displayed on the left while the translated language displays on the right. If you want to view other languages that you have enabled, click the dropdown that contains the translated language and select another. If you want to add an additional language, select Manage Languages.
-
Use the top left dropdown menu to navigate between translations for products, categories, and options.
-
If you did not enable the Google Translate toggle in step 1, you need to click the Translate with Google icon to translate your products, categories, and options. You will need to do this each time you add a new product, category, or options as long as Google translate is not enabled.
-
(Optional) Edit the translation for a particular product, category, or option. You can click the Google translate button or make manual edits. Translations are saved automatically. If you have Google translate enabled, new products, categories, and options are translated automatically. However, if you make an update to a previously translated product, category, or option, you need to go back to the Store Languages page and retranslate it either manually or with Google translate.
-
(Optional) For Products and Categories, you have the option to click the Open in Editor icon to preview the translated product or category. Or click the Edit in Catalog icon to edit the product or category in its default language. Or, if you are already on the product page in the catalog, you can access the translation by clicking the three dot icon next to the Save button and selecting Manage translation.
