Languages

Ten languages in every theme, storefront and editor alike.

Storefront

Every theme speaks English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean: every word a customer can read that isn't the merchant's own content — "Add to cart", "Your cart is empty", "3 results for…", the account pages, the gift card — with correct plurals.

Editor

When a merchant opens Customize in Shopify in one of those languages, every section and setting is labelled in it.

Selectors

When a store publishes a second language or a second market in Shopify, a language selector and a country / currency selector appear in the footer on their own. They are the theme's own menus — arrow keys, Escape, a tick on the current one — not the browser's. If the store sells in one language to one country, nothing shows. A footer setting turns them off.

The app

EverStorefront itself speaks the same ten languages, on every page. The switch sits in the footer beside the version, labelled App language, with a flag for each. It changes what you read here; the theme carries its own languages regardless, so a French studio can work in French on a store that sells in Dutch and German. Your choice is remembered on your account and, before you sign in, on this browser.
