With Translation Lab, you can translate not only text but also the images used in your store. This allows you to show localized visuals (e.g., banners, product images, or promotional graphics) for each language.


How to add translated images


  1. In your Shopify admin, open Translation Lab → Translations → Media Images.

  2. Use the search bar to find the image you’d like to translate.

  3. Click on the image and then press Add file under the target language.

  4. Upload the localized version of the image and click the Save button.

If the image is assigned to a given product or collection, it can be found under Product images or Collection images, respectively.


Translating alt text

  • You can also translate the alt text for each image directly on the same screen.

  • Translations can be done:

    • Manually → enter the translation for each image’s alt text.

    • In bulk → click Bulk Translate (top right) to automatically translate all image alt texts.


Important

  • The custom translations app embed must be enabled for image translations to load correctly on the storefront

  • Image translation limits depend on your plan:

    Basic - 10 Images
    Pro - 100 images
    Business - Unlimited
    Premium - Unlimited
