How to translate your theme?

This is a guideline on how to translate the language in your Shopify store in the Unsen theme.

By default, each Shopify store can only use a single translation file at one time. Currently, Shopify themes are in English, and some themes have more than one language option. In this article, I will guide you to translate online stores into Single language (except English) and Multi-language.

1. Single Language

To translate your theme to another language please follow these steps:

Step 1: Change the Published languages

You need to click on Settings -> Languages -> Change the Published languages that you want to change the Language.

Step 2: Update the translation file

Please click on Online Store -> Themes -> Actions -> Edit default theme content

Step 3: Translate the theme

You can translate manually for each element.

For more information, you can follow this document of Shopify.

2. Multi-language

To sell in multiple languages, you need to have the following:

Step 1: Install the Geolocation app by Shopify.

Step 2: Add Markets of the country to that you want to add the language.

Please click on Shopify Settings -> Markets -> Add the country you want to sell.

Step 3: Add Languages.

You need to click on Shopify Settings -> Languages -> Add Language then assign it for the Markets selling and Public Language.

Step 4: Translate with the Translate App.

There are many Translation Apps on Shopify, but we recommend that Unsen users should use T Lab ‑ AI Language Translate. In the process of working, I noticed that customers choose this app quite a lot and support quickly.

Step 5: Add translation file into Theme Code.

Please click on Edit Code -> Find the Locales -> Add translation file such as ar.json, de.json, it.json.

Then you will translate manually or use the 3rd translation app.

Note: If your language selector doesn't show, please check this option Market Language.
