By default, each Shopify store can only use a single translation file at one time. We have fully translated versions of our themes in English, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal).
If you need to translate your theme to one of these languages, you can do so by going into the Language Files or the theme. This allows you to easily update text that appears throughout your shop.
Want to automate your translations?
With Weglot, your website can be multilingual (and accessible to a global market) in minutes and you can manage all of your translations effortlessly.
Step 1: Navigate to the Language Files by going into Online Store > Themes > [ ... ] > Edit default theme content:
Languages are not added via the theme but via the Shopify languages page of the admin area. For more information on adding languages, please check out this Shopify guide: Shopify languages

Requirements
To sell in multiple languages, you need to have the following:
- A supported third-party language translation app installed on your store.
- A theme that has added support for this functionality. You will need to update your theme to the newest version once support has been included.
Adding third-party apps can come at a cost, however, and we are unable to guarantee that the apps will integrate with Out of the Sandbox themes. Any conflicts with the added app and your theme would need to be resolved by the app’s developers.
Limitations of selling in multiple languages
- You can translate your store up to twenty languages.
- The search function works only in the shop's primary language.
- This feature doesn't support different domains per language.
- Only compatible third-party translation apps are supported by this feature.
- Tags (such as product tags, article tags, and blog tags) can't be translated.
