How to Manage Store Languages

Set up your store to support multiple languages. Customers automatically see your store in their preferred language.

Why Multiple Languages?

Offering your store in multiple languages:

• Expands your customer base internationally
• Improves customer experience
• Increases conversion rates
• Builds trust with global audiences

Access Language Settings

1. Log in to your seller area
2. Navigate to Store > Languages
3. You'll see your current store languages and configuration options

Add a Language

1. In the Languages section, click Add language or the plus icon
2. Select a language from the available options
3. Confirm the addition
4. The language is added to your store

Configure Language Content

For each language, you can translate:

• Product names and descriptions
• Category names
• Page content
• Menu labels
• Static store text

How Customers See Languages

1. Customers visit your store
2. Their browser language preference is detected
3. If available, the store displays in their preferred language
4. If not available, it defaults to your primary language
5. Customers can manually switch languages using a language selector (if enabled in theme settings)

Set Primary Language

Your primary language is the default if a customer's preferred language isn't available:

1. In the Languages section, locate your primary language
2. It's typically marked as "Default" or "Primary"
3. To change the primary language, select a different one and set it as default

Remove a Language

1. In the Languages section, find the language you want to remove
2. Click the delete or remove icon
3. Confirm removal
4. Content in that language is archived but not deleted

Best Practices

• Focus on languages spoken by your target customers
• Ensure accurate translations (consider professional translation services)
• Keep product descriptions consistent across languages
• Test your store in each language before launching
• Update content in all languages when making changes
