How to translate my Shopify store into multiple languages?

According to the official Shopify guide on Localization and translation:

You can enable multiple languages from your Shopify admin to create separate URLs for your translated content. When customers land on a translated URL, your store automatically shows the translated version if translations exist.

There are some requirements to start selling in multiple languages:

1. You need at least the Shopify Basic plan
2. Your shop must run on a compatible theme.
3. The theme you are using must have a language selector implemented.
4. Find a solution to translate your content.

To create translations in the new language, there is an option to download your texts in a CSV file, translate it and upload it back. This approach is clunky and doesn’t fit with our philosophy of continuous localization at all. There is a better approach!

The Localazy app for Shopify allows you to connect your online store to your Localazy account and translate your Shopify store into multiple languages with the Localazy translation platform.

After you integrate your Shopify store with Localazy with a few clicks, you can use one of the three available methods of translations:

1. Pre-translate everything with built-in machine translation engines and iterate quickly.
2. Translate on your own (or invite contributors) with the help of built-in translation suggestions and save costs on translation.
3. Order professional translations inside the platform. You can fully automate the localization process and order services from our localization team. Our translators will translate your content, and whenever you add any new texts, we will pro-actively deliver the new translations.

You can also combine the above methods to optimize cost/effort for each language you want to introduce to your store.
