Markets and languages
Chapter 14 of the Rep user guide.
- Countries and currencies: set up markets in admin under Settings › Markets. With more than one, the footer and the phone menu show a country/currency selector. Prices convert through Shopify.
- Languages: Rep ships in English. Add languages under Settings › Languages and translate with Shopify's free Translate & Adapt app, which covers the theme's words, your section text, your settings and your metafields. With more than one language published, a language selector appears beside the country selector.
- Changing the theme's own words: in Online Store › Themes, open the theme's … menu and choose Edit default theme content to change fixed words, such as "Your bag is empty", "Not in this colour" or "Between sizes? Size up for comfort." (that last one is also a theme setting).
- Free shipping messages show only to shoppers paying in your store's currency, because the amount can't be converted reliably.
- Set discount estimates are worked out in the shopper's currency from the converted prices.
- Don't translate the words the filters and links use. The activity tiles, pills and chips link with the words you typed, so if you translate
custom.activitiesorcustom.support_level, translate the tile names, the Activity list and the Support levels the same way. Pictograms are chosen from the English names (chapter 7); a translated name gets the dot, unless you pick the tile's Pictogram yourself. - Sizes and colours: the fit finder, Complete the set and the size chart match size and colour names exactly, so translate a size or colour name (if at all) the same way in every product and in your size charts. XS to XL usually need no translation.
- The fit finder works in centimetres and kilograms or feet, inches and pounds in every language. Its words, such as "How do you like it to fit?", are theme content you can translate.
- Right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout, including the back-to-top button's side. Shop the look's hotspots stay where you put them on the photo, because the photo isn't mirrored.
- Countdowns are absolute moments: every shopper counts down to the same instant.
