Markets and languages
Chapter 14 of the Scruff 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, including the embroidery fee product's, convert through Shopify.
- Languages: Scruff 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, open the theme's menu and choose Edit default theme content to change fixed words, such as "Your bag is empty" or "Only what fits".
- Free shipping messages show only to shoppers paying in your store's currency, because the amount can't be converted reliably.
- Don't translate
custom.species. The theme recognises the words Dog and Cat (and Dogs, Cats); a translated "Chien" matches neither, so the product would show for no pet in that language. Leave the species values in English. - Sizes: the fit, the size table and the Shop by size tiles match size names exactly, so translate a size name (if at all) the same way in the product option, in Weight range per size and in the size table. XS to XL usually need no translation.
- Size tables: if you translate the table's headings, keep
cm,in,kg,lborweightin them, because that's how the theme knows which columns to convert. Translate breed names freely, but keep each breed's size. - The pet profile works in every language. Weights are in kg or lb, and the birthday banner's weekday ("Friday") follows the shopper's language.
- Line item properties follow the shopper's language:
Tag front,Tag back,Tag font,EmbroideryandThreadare theme words, so if you translate them, a shopper in another language saves the translated names. Thread names and style names are your block settings, translated with your other content. - Right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew mirror the layout, including the back-to-top button's side. Shop the scene'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.
