Kurafuchi review for Shopify Translate & Adapt
Nov. 14, 2024
Spent hours translating my entire site only to find that the language does not automatically switch based on a visitor’s location. So my website is still very much single-language for everyone. What good is a translating app that doesn’t have geolocation? Checked all Help articles and the only geolocation app Shopify links to is no longer available in the App Store. So the Help articles are not even up to date. I then tried to contact support, but all I get is a chat widget with neverending three dots. A very frustrating experience.
Hi there, you can automatically switch languages based on a buyer's preferences. Go to Settings --> Markets --> Preferences --> turn on Language redirection. We do recommend having a way for customers to manually select their language with a drop down in addition to this. If you're using any up to date theme from the Shopify theme store, this comes built into the theme.
