Yes, Atlas supports multiple languages so you can build and sell in your preferred market. There are three ways to manage language translation depending on when and how you want to apply it.

1. Before Store Generation
When generating your store or product page, you can select your preferred language before clicking Generate. Atlas will use that language for all AI-written product copy and sections during generation.

This is the best option if you want your store built in your target language from the start.

2. After Store Generation (Shopify Settings) Once your store is live, you can manage languages directly in your Shopify admin. Go to: Settings > Languages From there, you can change your default store language or add translations manually.

Steps to Access Shopify Languages

  1. Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Settings > Languages.

  2. Choose from the available language list to add your desired language.

  3. Use the language interface to manually input translations for store elements such as product descriptions and navigation.

Shopify also allows you to set default currency and regional formats under Settings > Markets.

3. Using a Third-Party Translation App If you need more advanced translation features, install a dedicated translation app from the Shopify App Store. These apps support: Additional features offered by these third-party apps include automatic translation capabilities, multilingual SEO optimization, and the ability to implement a customizable language switcher.

  • Auto language detection

  • Language switchers

  • Multi-language SEO

  • Deep translation of theme content, checkout, and more

Popular options include Weglot, Langify, and Translate & Adapt. Translate & Adapt (by Shopify) offers direct integration with Shopify for streamlined translation management.

Maintaining Language Content and Updates

When managing translations in your store, remember the following tips:

  • Use apps like Translate & Adapt to adjust your content's languages efficiently.

  • Revisit your translations routinely, especially after updating store content, to ensure synchronization and accuracy.

Tip: If you're generating a store for a non-English-speaking audience, always select your preferred language before you start. This saves time and gives you better results out of the gate.
