  • 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, lb or weight in 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, Embroidery and Thread are 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.
