Get started with Transtore

Start by adding your target languages and setting up the Transtore Switcher. Then check your storefront and configure any additional features you need.

Step 1: Add and publish your target languages

1. Open the Transtore app in your Shopify admin.
2. Go to Language.
3. Click Add target language.
4. Select the languages you want to add.
5. Click Add.
6. Use the Status toggle beside each language to publish the languages you want customers to use.

For more details, see Add and manage languages in Transtore.

Step 2: Set up the Switcher

The Transtore Switcher lets customers select a published language on your storefront.

Follow Set up the switcher to enable and configure it.

You can also customize its flags, icons, text, and display options.

Step 3: Check your storefront

1. Open your storefront in a private or incognito window.
2. Use the Transtore Switcher to select a published target language.
3. Open the pages you want to check and review the translated content.

Auto Translation applies translations directly on your storefront. The results may take around one second to appear and are not saved to Shopify as manual translations.

If some content remains untranslated, see The language changes, but some content remains untranslated.

Step 4: Create manual translations (optional)

If you want to review and save specific wording:

1. Go to Language.
2. Click Manage language next to the target language.
3. Open the resource containing the content.
4. Enter your translation, or click Improve translation with AI and select OpenAI GPT or DeepSeek.
5. Review and save the translation.

For more details, see:

• Find and edit translations
• Improve translations with AI
• Translate meta titles and meta descriptions

Saved translations need separate updates

When you change the default-language content, existing manual translations are not updated automatically. Update the corresponding translations separately.

Step 5: Set up additional currencies (optional)

To let customers select additional storefront currencies, follow Add and manage currencies in Transtore.

Before configuring conversion, review Currency conversion flow in Transtore.

Checkout currency

Transtore converts prices on the storefront, including the cart. It does not convert prices at checkout. Shopify controls the checkout currency based on your payment provider and Shopify Markets settings.

Step 6: Set up Geolocation (optional)

Geolocation can recommend or automatically apply language and currency settings based on a visitor’s location.

Follow Set up Geolocation and configure its options.
