How Do I Change the Language on My Shopify Theme?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 3:43 am

Have you ever wanted to change the language on your Shopify theme, but didn’t know how? Well, today is your lucky day! In this article, we’ll show you how to change the language on your Shopify theme in just a few simple steps.

First, you’ll need to log into your Shopify account. Once you’re logged in, click on “Themes” in the left-hand sidebar.

Next, find the theme that you want to edit and click on the “Actions” button. From the drop-down menu, select “Edit code”.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable working with code, we recommend that you reach out to a Shopify Expert to help you make this change.

Once you’re in the code editor, locate the “Config” folder. Within this folder, you’ll find a file called “settings_data.json”. This is the file that contains all of the settings for your theme, including the language settings.

To change the language of your theme, simply find the “language” setting and change it to whatever language you want. For example, if you want to change it to French, you would change it from “en” to “fr”.

Once you’ve made your changes, be sure to save your file and then refresh your browser. And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed the language of your Shopify theme.
