Translation
What Is It?
Translation lets you show the cart drawer text in the languages your store supports. You can edit each string by hand, or use Auto translate to fill them in for the languages connected to your store.
When to Use It
- You sell in more than one language and want the cart drawer to match
- You want to override a machine translation with your own wording
- You want to keep button labels, messages, and titles consistent across locales
Setup Walkthrough
Step 1: Open Translations
Open the Cart Editor. In the left panel, under the Settings group, select Translations.
Step 2: Pick a Language
Use the language selector to choose which locale you are editing. The Default language shows for reference. Each field lists the Original text next to its Translation.
Step 3: Edit the Text
Work through the field groups and type your wording in the Translation column. Strings are grouped by section (general fields, customized text, and feature-specific labels) so you can find what you need.
Step 4: Use Auto Translate (Optional)
To fill translations automatically, use Auto translate.
Troubleshooting
Q1: A language I need is not in the selector
The selector only lists languages published on your Shopify store. Add the language in Shopify's settings, then return here.
Q2: Auto translate is not available
Auto translate must be connected for your store. Use Reach out to us in the banner to request setup.
Q3: My translation does not show in the drawer
Confirm the shopper is browsing in that language and that you clicked Save. The drawer shows the Default language text for any field left blank.
