Add new languages to your online store
Before you begin, make sure your store meets the requirements for selling in multiple languages.
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Languages.
Click Add Language.
Choose a language from the drop-down menu, then click Add.
Select an active market to add your language to.
Note:
If you need to create a new active market, then follow the steps to add a market.
Do either of the following:
Use the Translate & Adapt app to import your translated content into Shopify.
Visit the Shopify App Store and install a translation app to your store. Follow the steps in the app to translate your online store's content and publish new languages.
Click Preview to view different languages in your online store. You can preview both published and unpublished languages.
Note:
Adding a language only adds translations in supported languages to supported themes and checkouts. If you want to add translations to other store content, then you need to import translations or use an app.
Publish a language to your online store
Steps:
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Languages.
In Unpublished languages, click Publish beside the language that you want to make available to customers in your store.
Click Save.
Note:
If you publish a language to your store without adding translations, then you'll receive a message prompting you to add translations. Languages that are published without adding additional translations will only show the provided translations for the theme and checkout, and the default language for all other content.
