Translate your blocks

Show every block's text in your customer's language — translate in Optimalify or in Translate & Adapt.

View as Markdown ↗

Customers see the account pages in the language they shop in. Optimalify shows each block’s text in that language when you’ve translated it, and your original text when you haven’t.

What gets translated

  • Built-in wording — buttons and default labels such as “Download invoice” — comes translated in English, Vietnamese, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Italian. Nothing to set up.
  • Your own text in Banner, Support, Social links, FAQ, Store policies, Rich content, Trust badges, Payment icons and Custom pages: you translate it, in either of the two ways below.
  • Profile custom fields have their own per-language labels in the Profile block.

Before you start

Add the languages you sell in under Settings → Languages in your Shopify admin and publish them. Only published languages appear in Optimalify.

Option 1: translate inside Optimalify

  1. Apps → Optimalify → Translations.
  2. Pick a language, then a block.
  3. Type each translation next to the original text and Save.

Customers see the new text right away. A field you leave empty shows your original text.

Option 2: translate in Translate & Adapt

Every block’s text is also available in Shopify’s Translate & Adapt app, under the Optimalify entries (one entry per block text, FAQ question, policy, badge or link). Translate there as you would any other content.

Translate & Adapt changes reach customers the next time Optimalify syncs — automatically each time you open the Optimalify app, or straight away with Translations → Sync translations.

Good to know

  • When you change the original text, Shopify marks its translations outdated. Outdated translations are not shown — customers see the new original until you update or confirm the translation (“Still correct” in Optimalify).
  • Regional languages fall back to the base language: a customer browsing in French (Canada) sees your French translation if there is no French (Canada) one.
  • Translations are included on the Free plan.
